Nounخَيْمَهٌ1 sense

Core sense — a tent, or booth, of branches, cloths, or polesgenerated

1figurative · مجاز — inferredthe martyr is in the tabernacle of God, beneath the empyrean—الشَّهِيدُ فِى خَيْمَةِ ٱللّٰهِ تَحْتَ العَرْشِ

خَيْمٌ has the same meaning, though some say it is a plural, as will be seen below.

A بَيْت [here meaning booth, or the like] of any kind such as the Arabs build of the branches of trees. So says As, who holds that the خيمة is only of trees, and that otherwise it is called بَيْتٌ [q. v.].

Others hold that it is a tent, made with pieces of cloth and tent-ropes, because تَخْيِيمٌ means remaining, staying, or living in a place; it is so called as being used when people alight. This last is the meaning commonly known, but by As's account it is figurative.

Or, according to IAar, the Arabs apply it only to a structure of four poles roofed over with ثُمَام [panic grass], and it is not made of cloths; the مِظَلَّة, he says, is of cloths and of other things.

Or it is the same as مِظَلَّة; and according to AHát it is the same as the Persian خَرْ پُشْتَهْ [literally 'ass's back', like the French 'dos d'âne', meaning a high-pitched span-roof].

Or any round بَيْت.

Or three poles, or four, over which ثُمَام is laid, by which one is shaded in the heat.

Or poles set up with rafters laid across, covered with trees, so that it is cooler than أَخْبِيَة [plural of خِبَآء].

Or poles upon which خِيَام [plural of خَيْمٌ] are built.

Or a structure of trees and palm-branches with their leaves on them, which a man uses for shade when he brings his camels to water.

The Arabs also apply it to a بَيْت [a tent and the like] and to a place of abode generally.

The plural of خَيْمَةٌ is خَيْمَاتٌ, خِيَمٌ and خَيْمٌ; or this last is a collective noun, or the same as خَيْمَةٌ and خِيَامٌ; or it is the plural of خَيْمٌ, and is applied also to the women's vehicles called هَوَادِج, these being likened to خِيَام.

This sense of خيمة is perhaps taken from the phrase in Revelation 21:3.
