The term is used both literally and metaphorically, reflecting the diverse ways in which holes are perceived in biblical narratives.<br><br>1. <b>Literal Holes as Places of Refuge or Hiding:</b><br> &#183; In the Old Testament, holes are sometimes depicted as places where individuals seek refuge or hide from danger. For instance, during times of war or persecution, people would hide in caves or holes in the ground. In <a href="/1_samuel/13-6.htm">1 Samuel 13:6</a>, the Israelites, facing the Philistine threat, "hid themselves in caves, thickets, cliffs, strongholds, and in pits." This illustrates the use of natural formations as shelters in times of fear and uncertainty.<br><br>2. <b>Metaphorical Use of Holes:</b><br> &#183; Holes can also symbolize desolation or emptiness. In <a href="/isaiah/2-19.htm">Isaiah 2:19</a>, during the day of the Lord's judgment, people will "go into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty, when He arises to shake the earth." Here, holes represent a futile attempt to escape divine judgment, highlighting the inescapable nature of God's power.<br><br>3. <b>Symbol of Poverty and Need:</b><br> &#183; The imagery of holes is sometimes used to depict poverty or lack. In <a href="/haggai/1-6.htm">Haggai 1:6</a>, the prophet describes the people's economic struggles: "You have sown much, but bring in little; you eat, but never have enough; you drink, but never have your fill; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes." This metaphor of a bag with holes conveys the futility and frustration of laboring without reward, emphasizing the need for obedience to God to receive His blessings.<br><br>4. <b>Holes in the Context of Sin and Judgment:</b><br> &#183; Holes can also be associated with sin and its consequences. In <a href="/jeremiah/2-13.htm">Jeremiah 2:13</a>, God accuses His people of forsaking Him, "the fountain of living water," and digging "cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water." The image of broken cisterns, akin to holes that cannot retain water, symbolizes the futility of idolatry and the spiritual barrenness that results from turning away from God.<br><br>5. <b>Holes as Part of Creation:</b><br> &#183; In the broader context of creation, holes in the earth, such as caves and pits, are part of the natural world that God has made. They serve various purposes, from providing habitats for animals to being used by humans for shelter and storage. The presence of holes in the landscape reflects the complexity and diversity of God's creation.<br><br>In summary, the concept of holes in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from literal places of hiding and refuge to metaphors for desolation, poverty, and the consequences of sin. These varied uses underscore the richness of biblical imagery and the depth of spiritual truths conveyed through everyday elements of the natural world.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3692.htm"><span class="l">3692. ope -- an opening, a hole</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin probably from a prim. root op- (cf. horao) Definition an opening,<br> a hole NASB Word Usage <b>holes</b> (1), opening (1). cave, place. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/3692.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p><a href="/greek/5454.htm"><span class="l">5454. pholeos -- a hole, den</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin of uncertain origin Definition a hole, den NASB Word Usage <b>holes</b> (2).<br> hole, den.
