Succoth: 'booths,' a city in Transjordan linked to Jacob; also an exodus staging point in Egypt.
A place name meaning 'booths' or 'shelters,' designating at least two biblical locations. The primary Succoth lies in the Jordan Valley east of the river, where Jacob built shelters for his livestock after parting from Esau (Gen 33:17). This city figures prominently in Gideon's pursuit of the Midianite kings, whose elders refused him bread and paid dearly for it (Judg 8:5-16). It also appears in the 'Valley of Succoth' that God parcels out in the psalms of confidence (Ps 60:6; 108:7) and near the bronze-casting site for Solomon's temple vessels (1 Kgs 7:46). A second Succoth marks the first stop after the Israelites departed Rameses in the exodus (Exod 12:37; 13:20; Num 33:5-6). The Septuagint renders the name as Sokcchoth, while Genesis offers the Greek equivalent Skenai ('tents').
Senses
1. Succoth (place name) — A place name meaning 'booths,' referring primarily to a Transjordanian city in the Jordan Valley where Jacob erected shelters for his flocks (Gen 33:17), and which features in Gideon's Midianite campaign (Judg 8:5-16), Solomon's bronze casting (1 Kgs 7:46), and the psalmic division of the land (Ps 60:6; 108:7). A second Succoth is the initial staging point of the exodus from Egypt (Exod 12:37; 13:20). The Septuagint renders the etymological sense with Skenai ('tents') in Genesis while transliterating elsewhere as Sokcchoth. 18×
