the holes
An opening or hollow in a solid structure, such as a hole, pit, or cavity; can also refer to a natural or manmade hollow, including a cave, den, or socket. The term is used in biblical texts to denote literal physical hollows (e.g., holes in a wall or ground, sockets for fixtures, or lairs for animals) and occasionally as a metaphor for concealment or hiding places.
