Strong's Lexicon Sukathim: Sukathites Original Word: שׂוּכָתִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root סֻכָּה (sukkah), meaning "booth" or "tabernacle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for Sukathim, the concept of temporary dwelling or tabernacle is captured in the Greek word σκηνή (skēnē), Strong's Greek #4633, which is used in the New Testament to describe the tabernacle and, metaphorically, the human body as a temporary dwelling. Usage: The term "Sukathim" refers to a group or clan mentioned in the genealogies of the Old Testament. It is associated with the descendants of a particular family or tribe, possibly linked to the region of Succoth, which is known for its booths or temporary shelters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the name Sukathim likely connects to the practice of dwelling in temporary shelters, which was common among nomadic tribes and during certain religious festivals, such as the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). This festival commemorates the Israelites' journey through the wilderness and their reliance on God's provision.
