Strong's Lexicon ohel: Tent Original Word: אֹהֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root אָהַל (ahal), meaning "to be clear" or "to shine," possibly referring to the brightness of a tent in the sun. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4633 σκηνή (skēnē) - tent, tabernacle - G4636 σκῆνος (skēnos) - tent, dwelling Usage: The Hebrew word "ohel" primarily refers to a tent, a portable dwelling used by nomadic peoples. In the Bible, it is often associated with the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who lived in tents as they sojourned in the land of Canaan. The term is also used to describe the Tabernacle, the sacred tent where God dwelled among the Israelites during their wilderness journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, tents were the primary form of housing for nomadic tribes. They were made of animal skins or woven goat hair and were easily dismantled and transported. Tents symbolized a transient lifestyle, reflecting the patriarchs' faith journey as they awaited the fulfillment of God's promises. The Tabernacle, or "Tent of Meeting," was central to Israelite worship and represented God's presence with His people.
