Strong's Lexicon sakath: To cover, to protect, to shelter Original Word: סָכַת Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of covering or protection is "σκέπη" (skepē), which also conveys the idea of shelter or protection. Usage: The Hebrew verb "sakath" primarily conveys the idea of covering or providing protection. It is often used in contexts where shelter or a form of divine protection is implied. The term can be understood both in a literal sense, such as covering with a physical object, and in a metaphorical sense, such as God's protective care over His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of covering or sheltering was significant, especially in a nomadic or semi-nomadic society where protection from the elements and enemies was crucial. The imagery of God as a protector or shelter is prevalent in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the cultural understanding of divine guardianship and care. This concept is often associated with the tabernacle or temple, where God's presence was believed to offer protection and refuge.
