It conveys the idea of settling down or dwelling in a place temporarily, often in the context of a journey or pilgrimage. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the act of dwelling or abiding, particularly in a spiritual or divine sense.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, pitching a tent was a common practice for nomadic peoples and travelers. Tents were temporary dwellings that provided shelter and a place to rest during a journey. The concept of dwelling in tents is deeply rooted in the history of the Israelites, who lived in tents during their wilderness wanderings after the Exodus from Egypt. This imagery is often used in the Bible to symbolize the transient nature of human life and the idea of God dwelling among His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/4637.htm">skénoó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to pitch one's tent, encamp, dwell<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>live (1), nest (2), nested (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2681: κατασκηνόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κατασκηνόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κατασκήνω</span>, infinitive <span class="greek2">κατασκηνοιν</span> (<a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-32.htm">Matthew 13:32</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-32.htm">Mark 4:32</a> <span class="manuref">WH</span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀποδεκατόω</span></span>; (but also <span class="greek2">κατασκηνοῦν</span>, Matthew, the passage cited <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; Mark, the passage cited <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span>; cf. <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 123)); future <span class="greek2">κατασκηνωσόω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεσκήνωσα</span>; properly, <span class="accented">to pitch one's tent, to fix one's abode, to dwell</span>: <span class="greek2">ἐφ'</span> <span class="greek2">ἐλπίδι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/2-26.htm">Acts 2:26</a> from <a href="/interlinear/psalms/15-9.htm">Psalm 15:9</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 16:9>); followed by <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> with the dative of place, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-32.htm">Matthew 13:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/13-19.htm">Luke 13:19</a>; <span class="greek2">ὑπό</span> with the accusative of place, <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-32.htm">Mark 4:32</a>.
