It can also denote a thicket or a lair, suggesting a place of concealment or refuge. In the biblical context, it is used to describe structures that provide shelter or protection, often in a natural setting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, booths were commonly used during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), a festival that commemorated the Israelites' journey through the wilderness and their reliance on God's provision. These temporary shelters were constructed to remind the people of their ancestors' dependence on God for protection and sustenance. The concept of a "sek" also reflects the agrarian lifestyle of ancient Israel, where natural materials were readily used for constructing temporary shelters for both people and animals.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a thorn<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pricks (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">שֵׂךְ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>thorn</b></font>;
