Berean Strong's Lexicon kataskénósis: Dwelling, habitation, encampment Original Word: κατασκήνωσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κατασκηνόω (kataskēnoō), meaning "to pitch a tent" or "to dwell." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of dwelling is מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan), Strong's Hebrew #4908, which refers to the Tabernacle or dwelling place of God among the Israelites. Usage: The term "kataskénósis" refers to a place of dwelling or habitation, often implying a temporary or movable structure like a tent. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a place where one resides or settles, emphasizing the concept of dwelling in a particular location. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of dwelling or encampment was closely tied to the nomadic lifestyle of many communities, including the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. Tents were a common form of habitation, symbolizing both the transitory nature of life and the presence of God among His people, as seen in the Tabernacle. The idea of God dwelling with His people is a central theme in both the Old and New Testaments, reflecting His desire for relationship and communion with humanity.
