Lodge
Holman Bible Dictionary
In Biblical usage, a temporary resting place, for example, in a private home (Joshua 2:1; Acts 10:18 ), or a campground (Joshua 4:3 ,Joshua 4:3,4:8; Isaiah 10:29 ). The temporary stay might be prolonged as was the case of Paul in Rome (Acts 28:23 ,Acts 28:23,28:30 ). Jeremiah longed to escape to a wayfarer's desert lodge to avoid his people's sinfulness (Jeremiah 9:2 ). For the lodge in the cumcumber field, see Hut .
