BOOTH . The Heb. sukkâh (note Genesis 33:17 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ) was a simple structure made of the branches of trees, which the peasant erected for rest and shelter in his field or vineyard ( Isaiah 1:8 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] it is variously rendered booth, cottage, hut, pavilion, tabernacle, tent . The booth was also a convenient shelter for cattle ( Genesis 33:17 ) and for the army in the field ( 2 Samuel 11:11 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ).
