Heb. ' ohel ( Gen. 9: 21, 27). This word is used also of a dwelling or habitation ( 1 Kings 8: 66; Isa. 16: 5; Jer. 4: 20), and of the temple ( Ezek. 41: 1). When used of the tabernacle, as in 1 Kings 1: 39, it denotes the covering of goat' s hair which was placed over the mishcan. ( 2.) Heb. mishcan ( Cant. 1: 8), used also of a dwelling ( Job 18: 21; Ps. 87: 2), the grave ( Isa. 22: 16; comp. 14: 18), the temple ( Ps. 46: 4; 84: 2; 132: 5), and of the tabernacle ( Ex. 25: 9; 26: 1; 40: 9; Num. 1: 50, 53; 10: 11). When distinguished from ' ohel, it denotes the twelve interior curtains which lay upon the framework of the tabernacle ( q. v.). ( 3.) Heb. kubbah ( Num. 25: 8), a dome- like tent devoted to the impure worship of Baal- peor. ( 4.)

Tents have always occupied a prominent place in Eastern life ( 1 Sam. 17: 54; 2 Kings 7: 7; Ps. 120: 5; Cant. 1: 5). Paul the apostle' s occupation was that of a tent- maker ( Acts 18: 3); i. e., perhaps a maker of tent cloth. |
