Strong's Lexicon chor: Hole, cave, den Original Word: חוֹר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to bore or pierce Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5421 (pholeos): Refers to a den or lair, often used in the New Testament to describe the dwelling places of animals or metaphorically for places of refuge. Usage: The Hebrew word "chor" primarily refers to a physical hole or cavity, often used to describe natural formations such as caves or dens. It conveys the idea of a hollow space, which can serve as a place of refuge or hiding. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, caves and dens were significant for various reasons. They served as natural shelters for people and animals, places of refuge during times of danger, and even burial sites. The rugged terrain of the region, with its many hills and rocky areas, provided numerous such formations. Caves were often associated with safety and concealment, as seen in the stories of biblical figures who sought refuge in them. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee choray.
