The concept of a home is deeply rooted in the Scriptures, reflecting both the physical and spiritual dimensions of life.<br><br><b>Old Testament</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, homes were often simple structures made from materials readily available in the region, such as mud bricks, stone, and wood. The patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, lived in tents as they were nomadic herders (<a href="/genesis/12-8.htm">Genesis 12:8, 26</a>:25). These tents served as their homes and were central to their family life and worship.<br><br>The Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land involved living in temporary shelters, which underscored their dependence on God for provision and protection (<a href="/exodus/12-37.htm">Exodus 12:37</a>). Once settled in Canaan, homes became more permanent. The Book of Deuteronomy emphasizes the importance of teaching God's commandments within the home: "These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up" (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-6.htm">Deuteronomy 6:6-7</a>).<br><br>The home was also a place of hospitality and refuge. The account of the widow of Zarephath who provided for Elijah during a famine (<a href="/1_kings/17-8.htm">1 Kings 17:8-16</a>) illustrates the role of homes as places of divine provision and blessing.<br><br><b>New Testament</b><br><br>In the New Testament, homes continue to play a significant role in the life of believers. Jesus often visited homes, using them as venues for teaching and performing miracles. For instance, He healed Peter's mother-in-law in her home (<a href="/mark/1-29.htm">Mark 1:29-31</a>) and raised Jairus's daughter from the dead in her home (<a href="/mark/5-35.htm">Mark 5:35-43</a>).<br><br>The early Christian church frequently met in homes, which served as the primary gathering places for worship and fellowship. <a href="/acts/2-46.htm">Acts 2:46</a> describes the early believers: "With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart" . This practice highlights the home as a center for spiritual growth and community life.<br><br>The apostle Paul, in his letters, often sends greetings to churches that meet in homes, such as the church in the house of Priscilla and Aquila (<a href="/romans/16-3.htm">Romans 16:3-5</a>). This underscores the importance of the home as a foundational unit for the early church's expansion and ministry.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Spiritual Significance</b><br><br>Homes in the Bible also carry symbolic and spiritual significance. They represent stability, security, and a place of rest. <a href="/psalms/127.htm">Psalm 127:1</a> states, "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain" , emphasizing the need for divine involvement in establishing a home.<br><br>Moreover, the concept of a heavenly home is a recurring theme, offering hope and assurance of eternal life. Jesus comforts His disciples with the promise of preparing a place for them: "In My Father&#8217;s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" (<a href="/john/14-2.htm">John 14:2</a>). This promise reflects the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan for His people to dwell with Him eternally.<br><br>In summary, homes in the Bible are multifaceted, serving as places of family life, worship, hospitality, and spiritual growth. They are integral to the narrative of God's relationship with His people, both in the temporal and eternal sense.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4634.htm"><span class="l">4634. skenopegia -- the setting up of tents</span></a> <br><b>...</b> tabernacles.
