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 humans. The concept of a pit in biblical literature often carries connotations of danger, imprisonment, or Sheol, the realm of the dead.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
