In the Bible, it is often used to describe the temporary dwellings of the patriarchs, the Tabernacle (the Tent of Meeting), and other temporary shelters. The term conveys the idea of transience and mobility, reflecting the lifestyle of the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings and their reliance on God's guidance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, tents were essential for a nomadic lifestyle, providing shelter and a place for family life. The patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, lived in tents as they moved through the land of Canaan. The Tabernacle, also referred to as the "Tent of Meeting," was a central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Tents symbolized both the impermanence of earthly life and the intimate presence of God with His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/168.htm">ohel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ohel (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Ohel <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/168.htm">'ohel</a>; Ohel, an Israelite -- Ohel. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/168.htm">'ohel</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וָ֠אֹהֶל ואהל Vaohel wā’ōhel wā·’ō·hel<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_chronicles/3-20.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Chronicles 3:20</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/3.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> וַחֲשֻׁבָ֡ה <b> וָ֠אֹהֶל </b> וּבֶרֶכְיָ֧ה וַֽחֲסַדְיָ֛ה</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_chronicles/3.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and Hashubah, <span class="itali">Ohel,</span> Berechiah,<br><a href="/kjvs/1_chronicles/3.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> And Hashubah, <span class="itali">and Ohel,</span> and Berechiah,<br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/3-20.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and Hashubah <span class="itali">Ohel</span> Berechiah Hasadiah<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_169.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_169.htm">Strong's Hebrew 169<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vaohel_169.htm">wā·’ō·hel — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/168.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="168"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="168" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/170.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="170"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="170" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
