Sojourning or place of sojourning; temporary residence as an alien in a land not one's own; also a dwelling place.
A noun from the root גור ('to sojourn'), capturing both the act of living as a stranger and the place where one resides temporarily. The patriarchal narratives use it repeatedly for the land of Canaan as 'the land of their sojournings' (Gen 17:8; 28:4; 36:7; 37:1), underscoring Israel's alien status before settlement. Jacob poignantly summarizes his 'years of sojourning' before Pharaoh (Gen 47:9), and the Psalmist calls God's statutes his songs 'in the house of my sojourning' (Ps 119:54). Spanish 'peregrinaciones' and German 'Fremdlingschaft' beautifully convey the pilgrim-stranger dimension. In two poetic passages (Job 18:19; Ps 55:15) the word shifts toward a concrete dwelling place or habitation.
Senses
1. sojourning, living as alien — The act or state of sojourning -- living temporarily as a foreigner or resident alien in land that is not one's permanent possession. Used predominantly in the Priestly source for the patriarchs' alien status in Canaan: 'the land of your sojournings' (Gen 17:8; 28:4; 36:7; 37:1; Exod 6:4; Ezek 20:38). Also temporal: Jacob's 'years of sojourning' (Gen 47:9) and the Psalmist's 'house of sojourning' (Ps 119:54) treat life itself as a pilgrimage. Spanish 'peregrinaciones' (pilgrimages) and German 'Fremdlingschaft' (stranger-status) reveal how translators heard the theological resonance of impermanence and dependence on God. 9×

2. dwelling place, habitation — A concrete dwelling place or habitation -- the physical location where one resides, without emphasis on the temporary or alien dimension. In Job 18:19, the wicked man has no survivor 'in his dwellings,' and Psalm 55:15 calls for death to come upon enemies 'in their dwelling.' Spanish 'morada' (abode) and English 'dwelling' confirm the shift from abstract sojourning to a tangible place of residence. These two occurrences show the word's semantic range extending from the pilgrim's transient stay to settled habitation. 2×
