tent
(1.) Heb. ‘ohel (Gen. 9:21, 27). This word is used also of a dwelling or
habitation (1 Kings 8:66; Isa. 16:5; Jer. 4:20), and of the temple (Ezek.
41:1). When used of the tabernacle, as in 1 Kings 1:39, it denotes the covering
of goat’s hair which was placed over the mishcan.
(2.) Heb. mishcan (Cant. 1:8),
used also of a dwelling (Job 18:21; Ps. 87:2), the grave (Isa. 22:16; comp.
14:18), the temple (Ps. 46:4; 84:2; 132:5), and of the tabernacle (Ex. 25:9;
26:1; 40:9; Num. 1:50, 53; 10:11). When distinguished from ‘ohel, it denotes
the twelve interior curtains which lay upon the framework of the tabernacle
(q.v.).
(3.) Heb. kubbah (Num. 25:8), a dome-like tent devoted to the impure
worship of Baal-peor.
(4.) Heb. succah (2 Sam. 11:11), a tent or booth made of
green boughs or branches (see Gen. 33:17; Lev. 23:34, 42; Ps. 18:11; Jonah 4:5;
Isa. 4:6; Neh. 8:15-17, where the word is variously rendered). Jubal was “the
father of such as dwell in tents” (Gen. 4:20). The patriarchs were “dwellers in
tents” (Gen. 9:21, 27; 12:8; 13:12; 26:17); and during their wilderness
wanderings all Israel dwelt in tents (Ex. 16:16; Deut. 33:18; Josh. 7:24).
Tents have always occupied a prominent place in Eastern life (1 Sam. 17:54; 2
Kings 7:7; Ps. 120:5; Cant. 1:5). Paul the apostle’s occupation was that of a
tent-maker (Acts 18:3); i.e., perhaps a maker of tent cloth.

Free On Board - FOB
A trade term requiring the seller to deliver goods on board a vessel designated by the buyer. The seller fulfills his obligations to deliver when the goods have passed over the ship’s rail.
When used in trade terms, the word “free” means the seller has an obligation to deliver goods to a named place for transfer to a carrier.
Investopedia Commentary
Contracts involving international transportation often contain abbreviated trade terms that describe matters such as the time and place of delivery and payment, when the risk of loss shifts from the seller to the buyer, as well as who pays the costs of freight and insurance.
The most commonly known trade terms are Incoterms, which are published by the International Chamber of Commerce. These are often identical in form to domestic terms, such as the American Uniform Commercial Code, but have different meanings. As a result, parties to a contract must expressly indicate the governing law of their terms.
It’s important to realize that because this is a legal term, its exact definition is much more complicated and differs by country. It is suggested that you contact an international trade lawyer before using any trade term.
