  Sukkot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Festival of Booths in which God preserved the Children of Israel after the Exodus.
The dwelling in booths implied in Deuteronomy is (in Leviticus) expressly commanded.
The inference is that with the transfer of the festival to the Temple, the ancient practise had lost all significance, until revived with the historical meaning, and referred to the tents in which Israel had dwelt in the wilderness.

 Judaism 101: Sukkot
The word "Sukkot" means "booths," and refers to the temporary dwellings that we are commanded to live in during this holiday in memory of the period of wandering.
This translation is particularly misleading, because the word "tabernacle" in the Bible refers to the portable Sanctuary in the desert, a precursor to the Temple, called in Hebrew "mishkan." The Hebrew word "sukkah" (plural: "sukkot") refers to the temporary booths that people lived in, not to the Tabernacle.
The festival of Sukkot is instituted in Leviticus 23:33 et seq.
