Genesis 25:27
25:27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter, a man of the open fields, but Jacob was an even-tempered man, living in tents.
Leviticus 23:42-43
23:42 You must live in temporary shelters
for seven days; every native citizen in Israel must live in temporary shelters,
23:43 so that your future generations may know that I made the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the
Lord your God.’”
Nehemiah 8:14-16
8:14 They discovered written in the law that the
LORD had commanded through
Moses that the Israelites should live in temporary shelters during the festival of the seventh month,
8:15 and that they should make a proclamation and disseminate this message
in all their cities and in Jerusalem:
“Go to the hill country and bring back olive branches and branches of wild olive trees, myrtle trees, date palms, and other leafy trees to construct temporary shelters, as it is written.”
8:16 So the people went out and brought these things back and constructed temporary shelters for themselves, each on his roof and in his courtyard and in the courtyards of the temple of God and in the plaza of the Water Gate and the plaza of the Ephraim Gate.
Hebrews 11:9-13
11:9 By faith he lived as a foreigner
in the promised land as though it were a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs
of the same promise.
11:10 For he was looking forward to the city with firm foundations,
whose architect and builder is God.
11:11 By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old,
he received the ability to procreate,
because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.
11:12 So in fact children
were fathered by one man – and this one as good as dead –
like the number of stars in the sky and like the innumerable grains of sand on the seashore.
11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the things promised,
but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners
on the earth.

and so
he is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,
