Tent:
(1.) Heb. 'ohel (Gen 9:21,27). This word is used also of a dwelling or habitation (1Ki 8:66; Isa 16:5; Jer 4:20), and of the temple (Eze 41:1). When used of the tabernacle, as in 1Ki 1:39, it denotes the covering of goat's hair which was placed over the mishcan.
(2.) Heb. mishcan (Sgs 1:8), used also of a dwelling (Job 18:21; Psa 87:2), the grave (Isa 22:16; Isa 14:18), the temple (Psa 46:4; 84:2; 132:5), and of the tabernacle (Exd 25:9; 26:1; 40:9; Num 1:50,53; 10:11). When distinguished from 'ohel, it denotes the twelve interior curtains which lay upon the framework of the tabernacle (q.v.).
(3.) Heb. kubbah (Num 25:8), a dome-like tent devoted to the impure worship of Baal-peor.
(4.) Heb. succah (2Sa 11:11), a tent or booth made of green boughs or branches (see Gen 33:17; Lev 23:34,42; Psa 18:11; Jon 4:5; Isa 4:6; Neh 8:15-17, where the word is variously rendered).
Jubal was "the father of such as dwell in tents" (Gen 4:20). The patriarchs were "dwellers in tents" (Gen 9:21,27; 12:8; 13:12; 26:17); and during their wilderness wanderings all Israel dwelt in tents (Exd 16:16; Deu 33:18; Jos 7:24). Tents have always occupied a prominent place in Eastern life (1Sa 17:54; 2Ki 7:7; Psa 120:5; Sgs 1:5). Paul the apostle's occupation was that of a tent-maker (Act 18:3); i.e., perhaps a maker of tent cloth.
