How translations render this word
Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).

Jastrow Dictionary
A second Hebrew/Aramaic lexicon for comparison, covering Aramaic and post-biblical (Talmudic, Targumic, Midrashic) usage that the biblical-Hebrew BDB does not. Matched by lemma rather than by Strong’s number, so a lemma may carry more than one Jastrow headword (shown separately below), and the entries cover usage well beyond the Bible.
סוּכָּה
- cover of twigs; booth; esp. Succah, the booth covered with twigs &c. for the seven days of Succoth. Maasr. III, 7 סוּכַּת גינוסר the lodge of Genezareth gardens (inhabited during vintage); ס׳ היוצרים the potter’s hut (the outer compartment serving as a workshop, the inner as a dwelling); סֻכַּת החג the festive booth. Num. R. s. 4 (ref. to יֻסַּךְ, Ex. XXV, 29) שהיו מעמידין … כמין ס׳ they put the bread up in the shape of a hut; שכל חלה … ס׳ וכ׳ each cake forming a roof over that below (tubes being placed between them to allow the air to strike). Succ. I, 1 ס׳ שהיא גבוהה וכ׳ a Succah which is higher than twenty cubits is unfit for ritual use. Ib. 2 העושה סוּכָּתוֹ וכ׳ he who put up his Succah under a tree; a. v. fr.—Pl. סוּכּוֹת, סֻכּוֹת. Ib. 8ᵇ שתי ס׳ של יוצרים the two combined huts of the potters, v. supra; a. fr.—Succah, name of a treatise, of the Order of Moʿed, of the Mishnah, Talmud Babli a. Y’rushalmi, a.

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 1 verse that also exists in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 1 Hebrew verse it occurs in. You can read those verses in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.
Read these verses in the Septuagint
This is a verse-level parallel only — the same verses exist in both the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments. No word-level Hebrew↔Greek correspondence is claimed: the data carries no such alignment, so no Greek word is shown as this Hebrew word’s translation. Coverage is not total — the Septuagint omits the deuterocanon and renumbers the Psalms, so some Hebrew verses have no direct Greek parallel.
