Hello all,
The noun mishkan literally means "dwelling", from the verbal root $KN. However in almost all cases, the noun is used specifically in connection with God's dwelling, be it the desert tabernacle/tent of meeting, the Jerusalem temple, or even God's heavenly abode. However in Num. 16:24 and 27, it is used to mean the dwellings of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, which are referred to as "tents" everywhere else (for example in verse 26). So the question is, does anyone know of any other place in the Bible in which the noun mishkan is used to refer to a human dwelling?
