Jim,

Could you please provide some evidence for your claim that אהלים ('tents') has 
the connotation of 'community' -- that is, larger than a family clan. There is 
nothing in the Genesis narrative that I can see which necessitates your 
rendition. Is there any actual linguistic or contextual evidence for your claim?
