The root idea of the word “sukkah” means to cover or surround, as in hedge of protection. The Hebrew root is used when Moses asked to behold God’s glory - to learn the deeper meaning of the name YHVH (יהוה) - and God said, “Behold there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, and while my glory overtakes you I will cover you with my hand (וְשַׂכּתִי כַפִּי עָלֶיךָ) until I have passed by (Exod. 33:21-21). The hand of God (יַד־יְהוָה) is our sukkah, and indeed the LORD writes our names upon his palms and sets us as a seal upon his heart (Isa. 49:16; Sol. 8:6). Likewise David affirmed that God would treasured you within his sukkah and elevate you upon the Rock that is Messiah: For he will cover me in his sukkah (כִּי יִצְפְּנֵנִי בְּסֻכּה) in the day of trouble he will hides me in the secret place of his tent; on the Rock he elevates me (Psalm 27:5).
