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?
