# 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.
