Strong's Lexicon ahal: Tent Original Word: אֹהַל Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to shine" or "to be clear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4633 σκηνή (skēnē) – tent, tabernacle - G4636 σκῆνος (skēnos) – tent, dwelling Usage: The Hebrew word "ahal" refers to a tent, which was a common dwelling place for nomadic peoples in ancient times. In the Bible, tents are often associated with the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who lived as sojourners in the land. Tents symbolize a temporary dwelling, reflecting the transient nature of life on earth and the journey towards a promised inheritance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, tents were made from goat hair or other animal skins and were portable, allowing for easy movement as people traveled with their flocks. The tent was central to the nomadic lifestyle, providing shelter and a place for family gatherings. Tents also held cultural significance, representing hospitality and the patriarchal household structure.
