| Core Meanings | to tent, to dwell in a tent, temporary habitation, encampment |
| Semantic Range | tent, portable shelter, dwelling-place, household residence, sacred tent (tabernacle), nomadic habitation |
| Conceptual Significance | The אֹהֶל represents the foundational dwelling of the patriarchs and nomadic Israel, symbolizing pilgrimage, impermanence, and dependence on יהוה. It also becomes central in the אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד (Tent of Meeting), the sacred dwelling where the Divine Presence meets Israel. |

| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֹהֶל is a masculine singular form (absolute or construct) meaning a tent.
