Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂכַךְ (sakhakh), which means "to cover" or "to weave together."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4633: σκηνή (skēnē) • A tent, tabernacle, or temporary dwelling. Usage: The term שׂךְ (sokh) is used in the context of temporary shelters or booths, often associated with the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), where such structures are constructed as a reminder of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. Context: The Hebrew word שׂךְ (sokh) refers to a booth or temporary shelter, a concept deeply rooted in the agricultural and religious practices of ancient Israel. These structures were typically made from branches, leaves, and other natural materials, providing shade and protection. The most notable use of booths is during the Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, a biblical festival commemorating the Israelites' 40-year journey in the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. During this time, the Israelites lived in temporary shelters, and the festival serves as a reminder of God's provision and protection. The construction of booths during Sukkot is a physical act of remembrance and celebration, symbolizing trust in God's care. The use of שׂךְ (sokh) in the Hebrew Bible underscores themes of transience, reliance on divine provision, and the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness.
