succoth

noun

«succoth» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

In 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.
