Succoth

City

Succoth (meaning "booths" or "shelters") refers to multiple locations. In Egypt, it was the first stopping place of the Israelites during the Exodus. East of the Jordan, Jacob built a house and made booths for his livestock at Succoth after reconciling with Esau. Gideon punished the elders of Succoth for refusing to help him pursue the Midianites.
