The Bible provides numerous references to various types of dwellings, from tents to palaces, each serving as a backdrop for God's unfolding plan.<br><br><b>Tents:</b> The patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are frequently depicted as dwelling in tents. This nomadic lifestyle is emblematic of their status as sojourners in the land promised to them by God. <a href="/genesis/12-8.htm">Genesis 12:8</a> describes Abraham's journey: "From there Abram moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD." Tents symbolize a temporary dwelling, reflecting the transient nature of life and the faith journey.<br><br><b>Houses:</b> As the Israelites settled in the Promised Land, their living arrangements evolved. Houses became more permanent structures, often built with stone and wood. <a href="/deuteronomy/6-10.htm">Deuteronomy 6:10-11</a> speaks of the transition: "And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build, with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—when you eat and are satisfied."<br><br><b>Palaces:</b> The monarchy period introduced grander living-places, such as palaces. King Solomon's palace is a notable example, reflecting the wealth and splendor of his reign. <a href="/1_kings/7.htm">1 Kings 7:1-2</a> states, "Solomon, however, took thirteen years to complete the construction of his entire palace. He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high, with four rows of cedar pillars supporting the cedar beams."<br><br><b>Cities:</b> Cities in the Bible often serve as centers of power, commerce, and culture. Jerusalem, the city of David, holds a central place in biblical history as the political and spiritual capital of Israel. <a href="/psalms/122-3.htm">Psalm 122:3</a> describes it: "Jerusalem is built up as a city united together." The city's significance is further highlighted by its association with the Temple, the dwelling place of God's presence among His people.<br><br><b>Symbolic Living-places:</b> The Bible also uses living-places symbolically to convey spiritual truths. For instance, the "house built on the rock" in <a href="/matthew/7-24.htm">Matthew 7:24-25</a> represents a life founded on obedience to Christ's teachings: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock."<br><br><b>Heavenly Dwellings:</b> The New Testament expands the concept of living-places to include heavenly dwellings. Jesus speaks of preparing a place for His followers in <a href="/john/14-2.htm">John 14:2</a> : "In My Father’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?" This promise of eternal dwelling with God offers hope and assurance to believers.<br><br>Throughout Scripture, living-places are more than mere physical structures; they are imbued with spiritual significance, reflecting the relationship between God and His people.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">Living-places (17 Occurrences)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/leviticus/23-42.htm">Leviticus 23:42</a></span><br />For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their <span class="boldtext">living-places</span>: <br /><span class="source">(BBE)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/leviticus/23-43.htm">Leviticus 23:43</a></span><br />So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their <span class="boldtext">living-places</span> when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. <br /><span class="source">(BBE)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/numbers/13-19.htm">Numbers 13:19</a></span><br />And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their <span class="boldtext">living-places</span> are, tent-circles or walled towns;<br /><span class="source">(BBE)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/numbers/35-3.htm">Numbers 35:3</a></span><br />These towns are to be their <span class="boldtext">living-places</span>, with land round them for their cattle and their food and all their beasts,<br /><span class="source">(BBE)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_chronicles/4-33.htm">1 Chronicles 4:33</a></span><br />And all the small places round these towns, as far as Baalath-beer, the high place of the South.
