It conveys the idea of a hollow space, which can be a place of refuge or hiding.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, caves and dens were significant for various reasons. They served as natural shelters for people and animals, places of refuge during times of danger, and even burial sites. The rugged terrain of the region, with its many hills and rocky areas, provided numerous such formations. Caves were often used by shepherds for their flocks and by people seeking safety from enemies or harsh weather.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
