Strong's Lexicon kataskénoó: To encamp, to dwell, to settle Original Word: κατασκηνόω Word Origin: From the Greek words κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and σκηνόω (skenoo, meaning "to dwell" or "to pitch a tent"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of dwelling or encamping is סָכַן (sakan, Strong's H7931), which means to dwell or abide. Usage: The verb κατασκηνόω primarily means to pitch a tent or to encamp. It conveys the idea of settling down or dwelling in a place temporarily, often in the context of a journey or pilgrimage. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the act of dwelling or abiding, particularly in a spiritual or divine sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, pitching a tent was a common practice for nomadic peoples and travelers. Tents were temporary dwellings that provided shelter and a place to rest during a journey. The concept of dwelling in tents is deeply rooted in the history of the Israelites, who lived in tents during their wilderness wanderings after the Exodus from Egypt. This imagery is often used in the Bible to symbolize the transient nature of human life and the idea of God dwelling among His people.
