PAVILION

pa-vil'-yun: A covered place, booth, tent, in which a person may be kept hid or secret (cokh, Psalm 27:5; cukkah-the usual term- Psalm 31:20), or otherwise be withdrawn from view. The term is used with reference to God (2 Samuel 22:12 Psalm 18:11); to kings drinking in privacy (1 Kings 20:12, 16); the Revised Version (British and American) gives "pavilion" for the King James Version "tabernacle" in Job 36:29 Isaiah 4:6; while in Numbers 25:8 it substitutes this word, with the margin "alcove," for the King James Version "tent" (qubbah), and Jeremiah 43:10, for "royal pavilion" (shaphrur), reads in the margin "glittering pavilion."
