A place name meaning "booths" or "huts." [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/succoth/#m1)

### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Succoth was where Jacob built a house and made shelters for his cattle, and it was also the first stop of Israel after leaving Egypt. A Succoth also lay in the Jordan plain, where King Solomon had the Temple vessels cast in clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. "Succoth-benoth" is a different name, an idol that the men of Babylon made in Samaria. Interpretation: The name matches the festival of Sukkot, when Jews build and live in booths to remember how God sheltered Israel in the wilderness. Succoth-benoth is read as the name of a foreign god, not a Jewish place.
