The concept of a hole can signify a physical space, a place of refuge, or a symbol of danger and entrapment. Literal Usage 1. Physical Spaces: Holes are mentioned in the Bible as literal openings or pits in the ground. For example, in <a href="/genesis/37-24.htm">Genesis 37:24</a>, Joseph's brothers cast him into a pit, which is described as an empty hole without water: "And they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty; there was no water in it" . This pit, or hole, serves as a temporary prison for Joseph, illustrating the use of holes as places of confinement. 2. Animal Habitats: Holes are also depicted as dwellings for animals. In <a href="/isaiah/11-8.htm">Isaiah 11:8</a>, the prophet speaks of a time of peace when "the infant will play by the cobra’s den, and the toddler will reach into the viper’s nest" . Here, the "den" and "nest" refer to holes in the ground where dangerous creatures reside, highlighting the natural use of holes as shelters. Metaphorical Usage 1. Symbol of Danger and Entrapment: Holes can symbolize danger or a trap set for the unwary. In <a href="/psalms/7-15.htm">Psalm 7:15</a>, the psalmist writes, "He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making" . This verse uses the imagery of a hole to convey the idea of self-inflicted harm or the consequences of one's own deceitful actions. 2. Refuge and Hiding: Conversely, holes can also represent places of refuge or hiding. In <a href="/1_samuel/14-11.htm">1 Samuel 14:11</a>, Jonathan and his armor-bearer reveal themselves to the Philistine outpost, and the Philistines remark, "Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in" . This indicates that holes served as hiding places during times of fear or threat. Theological Implications The use of holes in the Bible often carries deeper theological implications. They can represent the human condition of sin and the need for divine rescue. The imagery of falling into a pit or hole is frequently associated with spiritual peril, while deliverance from such a place is seen as an act of God's salvation. For instance, in <a href="/psalms/40-2.htm">Psalm 40:2</a>, the psalmist praises God for deliverance: "He lifted me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm" . Conclusion In summary, the concept of a hole in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing both physical and metaphorical meanings. It serves as a symbol of danger, refuge, and the human need for divine intervention. Through these varied uses, the Bible communicates profound truths about the human experience and God's redemptive power.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
