In biblical contexts, it can denote a literal pit used for practical purposes or metaphorically represent a place of danger or entrapment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, cisterns were essential for collecting and storing rainwater, especially in arid regions. These structures were often dug into the ground and lined with plaster to prevent leakage. Pits could also serve as traps for capturing animals or as prisons for holding individuals. The imagery of a pit is frequently used in the Bible to symbolize distress, danger, or the grave.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1361.htm">gebeh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>locusts<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hordes of grasshoppers (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">גּוֺב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>locusts</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/nahum/3-17.htm">Nahum 3:17</a>;
