The word
commonly translated “tent” is
ohel
, but it is often translated in the AV “tabernacle,” and is used also for “dwelling” or “habitation,” (

Psa. 91:10

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. (Psalm 91:10)
; &c). This word also shows that the goats’
hair
curtains formed the “tent” of
the tabernacle
. See TABERNACLE. It was also a “tent” that
Moses
pitched outside the
camp
in
Exodus 33:7
7
And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp. (Exodus 33:7)
. See CAMP.

And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. (Numbers 25:8)
. With the patriarchs their “tent” was their dwelling place as far as they had any, easily moved from place to place as the
cattle
needed fresh pasture. On
Israel
entering the land the tents gave way to houses in the cities: as the
Christian
’s “tabernacle” will give place to the “
house
” above (
