Berean Strong's Lexicon sukkah: Booth, Tabernacle, Shelter Original Word: סֻכָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: sukkah Pronunciation: sook-kaw' Phonetic Spelling: (sook-kaw') Definition: Booth, Tabernacle, Shelter Meaning: a dart Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4633 σκηνή (skēnē) - tent, tabernacle - G4634 σκηνοπηγία (skēnopēgia) - the Feast of Tabernacles Usage: The term "sukkah" refers to a temporary shelter or booth, often constructed from branches and leaves. It is most commonly associated with the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), a biblical festival during which the Israelites were commanded to dwell in booths for seven days as a reminder of their ancestors' journey through the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. Cultural and Historical Background: The sukkah is a central element of the Jewish festival of Sukkot, which commemorates the Israelites' 40-year journey in the desert. During this time, they lived in temporary shelters, relying on God's provision and protection. The sukkah symbolizes both the fragility of human life and the divine protection provided by God. Traditionally, the sukkah is constructed with a roof made of organic material, such as branches or palm leaves, through which the stars can be seen, emphasizing the temporary and humble nature of the structure.
