In the biblical context, caves were often used as places of refuge, burial, and habitation. They served as natural fortresses and hiding places during times of danger or conflict.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, caves were significant for various reasons. They provided shelter from the elements and were used as burial sites, as seen in the burial of the patriarchs in the Cave of Machpelah (Genesis 23:9). Caves also served as places of refuge for individuals seeking to escape enemies, such as David hiding from Saul in the caves of Adullam (1 Samuel 22:1) and En Gedi (1 Samuel 24:3). The rugged terrain of the Judean wilderness and other regions in Israel made caves a common feature of the landscape.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a cave<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cave (31), caves (5), den (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מְעָרָה</font><sub>40</sub> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cave</b></font>; — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/19-30.htm">Genesis 19:30</a> +; construct <font class="hebrew2">מְעָרַת</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/23-19.htm">Genesis 23:19</a> +; plural <font class="hebrew2">מְעָרוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/6-2.htm">Judges 6:2</a> +, construct <em>id.</em> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/2-19.htm">Isaiah 2:19</a>; — <em>cave</em>, especially as place of sojourn or refuge <a href="/interlinear/genesis/19-30.htm">Genesis 19:30</a> (J), <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/24-3.htm">1 Samuel 24:3</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/24-7.htm">1 Samuel 24:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/24-8.htm">1 Samuel 24:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/24-10.htm">1 Samuel 24:10</a> (Ginsb; v.1 Samuel 24:4; v.1 Samuel 24:8; v.1 Samuel 24:9; v.1 Samuel 24:11 van d.
