- Genesis 33:17
but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
Commentary on Genesis 33:171 voice
(Verse 17) And Jacob built a house there for himself, and he built shelters for his livestock; therefore he called the name of that place Tabernacles. Where we have tents, it is read in Hebrew as Sochoth. Furthermore, until today, there is a city beyond the Jordan with this name in the region of Scythopolis, about which we have written in the book of Joshua.
Jerome· Hebrew Questions on Genesis, 420Patristic
- Exodus 12:37
The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.
Commentary on Exodus 12:372 voices
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth,.... Rameses was a place in Goshen, or rather the land of Goshen, from whence the country was so called; See Gill on Gen 47:11. The Targum of Jonathan takes it to be Pelusium, or Sin, now called Tinah, formerly the strength of Egypt, and which lay at the entrance of it, and says it was one hundred and thirty miles to Succoth; and Jarchi says one hundred and twenty.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Joseph came into Egypt alone, and soon thereafter six hundred thousand depart from Egypt. What is more marvelous than this? What greater proof of the generosity of God, when from persons without means he wills to supply the means for public affairs?
Gregory of Nazianzus· ORATION 42.5, 390Patristic
- Exodus 13:20
They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
Commentary on Exodus 13:202 voices
And they took their journey from Succoth,.... On the second day, as Jarchi observes, from their coming out of Egypt, which was the sixteenth of Nisan: and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness which had its name from it, and was called the wilderness of Etham, Num 33:8. Etham is said to be eight miles from Succoth (s).
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Encamped in Etham - As for the reasons assigned on Exo 13:17, God would not lead the Israelites by the way of the Philistines country, he directed them towards the wilderness of Shur, Exo 15:22, upon the edge or extremity of which, next to Egypt, at the bottom of the Arabian Gulf, lay Etham, which is the second place of encampment mentioned. See the extracts from Dr. Shaw at the end of Exodus. See Clarkes note on Exo 40:38.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Numbers 33:5
The Israelites set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth.
Commentary on Numbers 33:51 voice
Sochoth [Succoth] is interpreted "tents." Thus the first progress of the soul is to be taken away from earthly agitation and to learn that it must dwell in tents like a wanderer, so that it can be, as it were, ready for battle and meet those who lie in wait for it unhindered and free.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON NUMBERS 27:9, 253Patristic
- Numbers 33:6
They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness.
Commentary on Numbers 33:62 voices
Then when the soul thinks it is ready, it sets out from Succoth and camps at Buthan [Etham]. Buthan means "valley." Now we have said that the stages refer to progress in the virtues. And a virtue is not acquired without training and hard work, nor is it tested as much in prosperity as in adversity. So the soul comes to a valley. For in valleys and in low places the struggle against the devil and the opposing powers takes place.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON NUMBERS 27:9, 253Patristic
And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham,.... Which was eight miles from Succoth: which is in the edge of the wilderness; of the name, see Exo 13:20 but Dr. Shaw (c) makes this particular portion of the wilderness to be fifty miles from Cairo or Rameses. (c) Travels, p. 308.

- Joshua 13:27
and in the valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, with the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon (the territory on the east side of the Jordan up to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth).
Commentary on Joshua 13:271 voice
And in the valley, Betharam,....

- Judges 8:5–8
So Gideon said to the men of Succoth, “Please give my troops some bread, for they are exhausted, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
Commentary on Judges 8:5–81 voice
And he said to the men of Succoth,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Judges 8:14–16
There he captured a young man of Succoth and interrogated him. The young man wrote down for him the names of the seventy-seven leaders and elders of Succoth.
Commentary on Judges 8:14–162 voices
And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
He described unto him the princes of Succoth - The young man probably gave him the names of seventy persons, the chief men of Succoth, who were those who were most concerned in refusing him and his men the refreshment he requested.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 1 Kings 7:46
The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
Commentary on 1 Kings 7:462 voices
In the plain of Jericho did the king cast them in the clay ground,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
It is appropriate that the vessels of the Lord's house were cast in the region of the Jordan, namely, in the river in which our Lord deigned to be baptized and by his immersion in the waves of its waters changed the element for us …
Bede· Of the Temple of Solomon 2.21.1, 735Patristic
- 2 Chronicles 4:17
The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 4:171 voice
Zeredathah - Or, Zarthan (marginal reference). The writer of Chronicles probably uses the name which the place bore in his own day.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Psalms 60:6
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
Commentary on Psalms 60:62 voices
Ver. 6. God hath spoken in his holiness. Faith is never happier than when it can fall back upon the promise of God. She sets this over against all discouraging circumstances; let outward providences say what they will, the voice of a faithful God drowns every sound of tear. God had promised Israel victory, and David the kingdom; the holiness of God secured the fulfilment of his own covenant, and therefore the king spake confidently.
Charles Spurgeon· The Treasury of David (1869-1885)Reformed
God hath spoken in his holiness,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Psalms 108:7
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
Commentary on Psalms 108:71 voice
"God has spoken in his holy one": whether in the temple, or in each one of the saints, or in a prophet. He is heard in Moses, he is heard in an apostle; and more truly I say, he has spoken in his Son. What, then, has God spoken? These things that follow. "I will be exalted, and I will divide Shechem." For this reason, he says, I am crucified, that I may divide Shechem. "Shechem" is interpreted in our language as "shoulders." And "shoulders" are interpreted as "works."
Jerome· Homily 34, on Psalm 107, 420Patristic
