Strong's Lexicon suchah: Booth, Tabernacle, Hut Original Word: סֻכָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root סכך (sakak), meaning "to cover" or "to shelter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4633 σκηνή (skēnē) - tent, tabernacle - G4634 σκηνοπηγία (skēnopēgia) - the Feast of Tabernacles Usage: The term "sukkah" refers to a temporary shelter or booth, often constructed from branches and leaves. It is most commonly associated with the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), a biblical festival where the Israelites were commanded to dwell in booths for seven days as a reminder of their ancestors' journey through the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. Cultural and Historical Background: The sukkah is a significant symbol in Jewish tradition, representing both the physical protection provided by God during the Israelites' 40 years in the desert and the spiritual protection He offers. The Feast of Tabernacles is one of the three major pilgrimage festivals in Judaism, during which Israelites would travel to Jerusalem. The construction of a sukkah is a central practice during this festival, emphasizing themes of trust in God, gratitude, and the transitory nature of life.
