Definition: The word "ahousat" is a Hebrew noun meaning "ahab's house." It describes a place where God was with His people in their times of need or disaster. This phrase typically signifies an abode, shelter, or dwelling place. It comes from the verb "ahos," which means "to dwell." The word "ahousat" is found in several biblical texts, particularly in the book of Job and elsewhere. In these verses, God is described as abiding with His people (Job 29:5-7; Psalms 33:6), suggesting that this dwelling place is a haven where He is truly present.
