Fabulous comparison of Lehi's tent activities with the most popular Festival of Sukkot or indwelling by those celebrating the 7 day holiday of the Israelites in the wilderness after traveling and receiving the 'Ten Commandments'. Sukkot has also the small booths and the Lulav etc., the egg and the palm. It is a joyous Jewish holiday celebrated by every hebrew-school student and religious Jew. Thank you for magnifying Lehi's religiosity and strict belief's.

This is another thought about the small huts that they make, indeed they are a covering to celebrate their escape from Egypt, but if you see Egypt as "The world" or sin, then the hut is a covering, the word "Kaphar" is a Hebrew word for Atonement. When we leave the World behind, we are covered, protected, by the atonement. Could be.

LORD in the context of the Old Testament is always in "upper case". The reason: it is the English equivalent of the Tetragrammaton. I noticed LORD is used twice; other times the incorrect Lord is used. Should the writer desire to contact me, feel free to do so.
