Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root סָכַךְ (sakak), meaning "to cover" or "to weave together."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4633: σκηνή (skēnē) • A tent, tabernacle, or dwelling place.
• G4634: σκηνοπηγία (skēnopēgia) • The Feast of Tabernacles, a festival involving the construction of booths.
• G4638: σκῆνος (skēnos) • A tent or tabernacle, often used metaphorically for the human body as a temporary dwelling.
• G5208: ὑπόστεγος (hypostegos) • A covering or shelter, related to the concept of protection or a dwelling place.

These Greek terms reflect similar themes of temporary dwelling and divine protection, paralleling the Hebrew concept of סֻכָּה.

Usage: The term סֻכָּה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe various types of temporary shelters, including those used during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), as well as lairs or dens for animals.

Context: • The word סֻכָּה appears in several contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures. It is most notably associated with the Feast of Tabernacles, a biblical festival where the Israelites were commanded to dwell in booths for seven days as a reminder of their ancestors' journey through the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. This is reflected in Leviticus 23:42-43: "You are to live in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must live in booths, so that your descendants may know that I had the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God."
• The term is also used metaphorically to describe God's protection, as seen in Psalm 27:5: "For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock."
• Additionally, סֻכָּה can refer to a lair or den, as in Job 38:40, where it describes the dwelling place of lions: "when they crouch in their dens and lie in wait in the thicket?"
• The concept of סֻכָּה emphasizes themes of transience, divine protection, and remembrance of God's provision and care.
