Subjects in this Topic:
BOOTH.—The Heb. sukkâh (note Gen_33:17 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ) was a simple structure made of the branches of trees, which the peasant erected for rest and shelter in his field or vineyard (Isa_1:8 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] it is variously rendered booth, cottage, hut, pavilion, tabernacle, tent. The booth was also a convenient shelter for cattle (Gen_33:17) and for the army in the field (2Sa_11:11 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ).
