In the Bible, tents are often associated with the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who lived as sojourners in the land. Tents symbolize a temporary dwelling, reflecting the transient nature of life on earth and the journey towards a promised inheritance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, tents were made from goat hair or other animal skins and were portable, allowing for easy movement as people traveled with their flocks. The tent was central to the nomadic lifestyle, providing shelter and a place for family gatherings. Tents also held cultural significance, representing hospitality and the patriarchal household structure.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from the same as <a href="/hebrew/168.htm">ohel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to move a tent (from place to place)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>moved tent (1), moved tents (1), pitch tent (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">אָהַל</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>tent, move tent from place to place</b></font> (compare Assyrian <i><em>â'ilu</em></i> (?)
