Strong's Lexicon melunah: Lodge, shelter, encampment Original Word: מְלוּנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root לון (lun), meaning "to lodge" or "to spend the night." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "melunah," the concept of lodging or temporary shelter can be related to Greek terms such as καταλύω (katalyō), meaning "to lodge" or "to stay." Usage: The term "melunah" refers to a temporary lodging place or shelter, often used in the context of a place where travelers or shepherds might spend the night. It conveys the idea of a temporary dwelling or encampment, emphasizing the transient nature of the stay. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, travel often required stopping at temporary shelters or encampments due to the long distances between cities and the lack of permanent lodging facilities. Shepherds, in particular, would use such shelters while tending their flocks in the fields. These lodgings were simple and functional, providing basic protection from the elements.
