Tabernacle

וְיַעֲקֹב֙ נָסַ֣ע סֻכֹּ֔תָה וַיִּ֥בֶן ל֖וֹ בָּ֑יִת וּלְמִקְנֵ֙הוּ֙ עָשָׂ֣ה סֻכֹּ֔ת עַל־כֵּ֛ן קָרָ֥א שֵׁם־הַמָּק֖וֹם סֻכּֽוֹת׃ {ס}        
But Jacob journeyed on to Succoth, and built a house for himself and made stalls for his cattle; that is why the place was called Succoth.
Genesis 33:17 (Revised JPS, 2023)

“Stalls” or “booths” here is actually the first instance in Scripture of the word that we translate as Tabernacle.

A house for the benefit of Jacob. A tabernacle for the benefit of the livestock.
