Usage
The Hebrew word "ohel" primarily refers to a tent, a portable dwelling used by nomadic peoples. In the Bible, it is often associated with the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who lived in tents as they sojourned in the land of Canaan. The term is also used to describe the Tabernacle, the sacred tent where God dwelled among the Israelites during their wilderness journey.
