The rugged terrain of the region provided numerous natural caves, which were utilized for various purposes, including dwelling places, burial sites, and hideouts. The use of caves as refuges is well-documented in biblical narratives, reflecting the practical and strategic importance of these natural formations in the ancient Near East.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5102b.htm">nahar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps a cave, stronghold<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dens (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">מִנְהָרָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> dub., only plural <font class="hebrew2">הַמִּנְהָרוֺת אֲשֶׁר</font> <font class="hebrew2">בֶּהָרִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/6-2.htm">Judges 6:2</a> (+ <font class="hebrew2">הַמְּעָרוֺת</font> <em>caves</em>, <font class="hebrew2">הַמְּצָדוֺת</font> <em>strong-hold</em>) — (clearly, si vera lectio, from a check <font class="hebrew2">נהר</font>, but with what meaning?
