Jim,

Could you please provide some evidence for your claim that אהלים ('tents')
has the connotation of 'community' -- that is, larger than a family clan.
There is nothing in the Genesis narrative that I can see which necessitates
your rendition. Is there any actual linguistic or contextual evidence for
your claim?
