Usage: The Hebrew word "rebets" refers to a place where animals lie down or rest. It is often used to describe the lair or den of animals, particularly in the context of wild animals or livestock. The term conveys a sense of rest, security, and habitation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the imagery of animals lying down in their lairs was a common metaphor for peace and security.
