Pavilion
        a temporary movable tent or habitation.
        1. Soc, properly an enclosed place, also rendered "tabernacle," "covert" and "den;" once only "pavilion." Ps 27:5 (Among the Egyptians pavilions were built in a similar style to houses, though on a smaller scale in various parts of the country, and in the foreign districts through which the Egyptian armies passed, for the use of the king --Wilkinson.)
        2. Succah, Usually "tabernacle" and "booth."
        3. Shaphrur and shaphrir, a word used once only, in Jer 49:10 to signify glory or splendor, and hence probably to be understood of the splendid covering of the royal throne.
