What’s the difference between a tabernacle, a synagogue and the temple? If you’ve ever asked this question, you are not alone. Each of these terms can be found in Scripture, but they can be easily confused or glanced over. The tabernacle is first mentioned in Exodus 25 when God instructed Moses to build one – also referred to as a tent of meeting –...

It is used to render nineteen different Hebraic words and expressions but in eighty percent of the occurrences it is equivalent to Heb. עֵדָה֒, H6337, “gathering,” which appears 145 times in the OT and which is rendered as synagōgē in 127 cases.
Oct 31, 2008 · One thing I can say for sure is that Jesus neither said "church" nor "ekklesia," as church is an English word and ekklesia is a Greek word and Jesus was speaking Aramaic. What you find in an English translation of the Peshitta also does not tell you what Jesus said.
In Psalm 74:8, it is at least very doubtful whether the Hebrew word rendered synagogues, refers to synagogue-buildings such as existed after the captivity. Properly the word signifies only places where religious assemblies were held.
