Strong's Lexicon sok: Booth, Shelter, Thicket Original Word: סֹךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root סָכַךְ (sakhakh), meaning "to cover" or "to weave." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4633 (σκηνή, skēnē): Tent, tabernacle, dwelling - G4636 (σκῆνος, skēnos): Tent, tabernacle Usage: The Hebrew word "sok" refers to a temporary shelter or covering, often used in the context of protection or refuge. It can denote a physical structure like a booth or hut, typically made from woven branches or other natural materials. The term is also used metaphorically to describe God's protective presence over His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, booths or temporary shelters were commonly used during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), a festival commemorating the Israelites' journey through the wilderness and God's provision during that time. These structures were simple, made from branches and leaves, symbolizing reliance on God's protection and provision. The practice of building and dwelling in booths during this festival served as a tangible reminder of the transient nature of life and the enduring faithfulness of God.
