Temporary shelter, hut, or lodging intended for provisional habitation, especially one constructed for overnight or short-term stay in the open country. In biblical contexts, מְלוּנָה typically denotes a crude, hastily built structure used by laborers, watchmen, or travelers for protection against the elements or danger, distinct from permanent dwellings. The term can also refer to a booth-like shelter erected in fields, vineyards, or near city outskirts, generally for purposes of agricultural labor, seasonal residence, or temporary refuge.
