(, sukkah’, often rendered ” tabernacle” or ” pavilion”), a hut made of branches of trees, and thus distinguished from a tent properly so called. Such were the booths in which Jacob sojourned for a while on his return to the borders of Canaan, whence the place obtained the name of Succoth (Gen 33:17); and such were the temporary green sheds in which the Israelites were directed to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev 23:42-43).

As this observance was to commemorate the abode of the Israelites in the wilderness, it has been rather unwisely concluded by some that they there lived in such booths.

Such structures are only available in well-wooded regions; and it is obvious that the direction to celebrate the feast in booths, rather than in tents, was given because, when the Israelites became a settled people in Palestine and ceased to have a general use of tents, it was easier for them to erect a temporary shed of green branches than to provide a tent for the occasion.

a hut made of the branches of a tree. In such tabernacles Jacob sojourned for a season at a place named from this circumstance Succoth (Gen. 33:17<\/span>). Booths were erected also at the feast of Tabernacles (q.v.), Lev. 23:42<\/span>, 43<\/span>, which commemorated the abode of the Israelites in the wilderness.<\/p>\n BOOTH.The Heb. sukkh (note Gen 33:17 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ) was a simple structure made of the branches of trees, which the peasant erected for rest and shelter in his field or vineyard (Isa 1:8 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] it is variously rendered booth, cottage, hut, pavilion, tabernacle, tent. The booth was also a convenient shelter for cattle (Gen 33:17) and for the army in the field (2Sa 11:11 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ).<\/p>\n A. R. S. Kennedy.<\/p>\n booth, booth: The Hebrew word sukkah (rendered in the King James Version booth or booths, eleven times; tabernacle or tabernacles, ten times; pavilion or pavilions, five times; cottage once) means a hut made of wattled twigs or branches (Lev 23:42; Neh 8:15). In countries where trees are abundant such wattled structures are common as temporary buildings as they can be constructed in a very short time. Cattle were probably housed in them (Gen 33:17). Such hurriedly-made huts were use d by soldiers (2Sa 11:11; 1Ki 20:12) and by harvesters – hence, the name feast of booths or tabernacles (see TABERNACLES, FEAST OF). Job (Job 27:18) uses booth (parallel moth’s house) as a symbol of impermanence. Similar huts were erected in vineyards, etc., to protect them from robbers and beasts of prey. The isolated condition of Jerusalem in the time of the prophet Isaiah is compared to a booth in a vineyard (Isa 18:1-7).<\/p>\n Booth, a hut made of branches of trees, and thus distinguished from a tent properly so called.
