(מעון, mā‛ōn, מעונה, me‛ōnāh, ?habitation?; מערה, me‛ārāh, and σπήλαιον, spḗlaion, ?cave?; מאוּרה, me'ūrāh (Isa_11:8), ?a light-hole,? from אור, 'ōr, ?light,? perhaps for me‛ārāh; סך, ṣōkh (Psa_10:9 the King James Version), and סכּה, ṣukkāh (Job_38:40), ?a covert,? elsewhere ?booth?; ארב, 'erebh (Job_37:8), ?covert,? as in the Revised Version (British and American); גּב, gōbh; compare Arabic jubb, ?pit? (Dan_6:7); מנהרות, minhārōth, ?fissure? or ?cleft? (Jdg_6:2)): In the limestone mountains of Palestine caves, large and small, are abundant, the calcium carbonate, of which the rock is mainly composed, being dissolved by the water as it trickles over them or through their crevices. Even on the plains, by a similar process, pits or ?lime sinks? are formed, which are sometimes used by the Arabs for storing straw or grain. Of this sort may have been the pit, bōr, into which Joseph was cast by his brethren (Gen_37:20). Caves and crevices and sometimes spaces among piled-up boulders at the foot of a cliff or in a stream bed are used as dens by jackals, wolves and other wild animals. Even the people, for longer or shorter periods, have lived as troglodytes. Compare Jdg_6:2 : ?Because of Midian the children of Israel made them the dens (minhārōth) which are in the mountains, and the caves (me‛ārāh), and the strongholds (mecādh).? The precipitous sides of the valleys contain many caves converted by a little labor into human habitations. Notable instances are the valley of the Kidron near Mār-Sāba, and Wādi-ul-Ḥamām near the Sea of Tiberias. See CAVE.

Den
the rendering in the Auth. Vers. of the followving Heb. and Greek words: מְעָרָה, mearah' (Isaoah 32:14; Jer_7:11), a cave (as elsewhere rendered); מְאוּרָה, meirah', a hole (as of a venomous reptile, Isa_11:8); סֹךְ, sok, a booth or thicket (pavilion, Psa_27:5; tabernacle, Psa_76:2), hence a covert (Jer_25:38) or lair of a wild animal (Psa_10:9); so מָעוֹן, maon' (Jer_9:11; Jer_10:22), or מְעוֹנָה, meoinah' (Job_38:40; Psa_104:22; Son_4:8; Amo_3:4; Nah_2:12), properly a dwelling-place or habitation (as elsewhere rendered); מַנְהָרָה, a fissure in the rocks, used for hiding (Jdg_6:2); אֶרֶב, e'reb, an ambush (lie in wait, Job_38:40), hence lair of a beast of prey (Job_37:8); σπήλαιον, a cave (as rendered Joh_11:38), hence a recess for secrecy (Heb_11:38; Rev_6:15), or a resort of thieves (Mat_21:13; Mar_11:17; Luk_11:38). SEE CAVE.
In Daniel 6, the den (Chald. גֹּב, gob, a pit; Sept. λάκκος; Vulg. lacus) of lions is repeatedly named as a peculiar means of punishment for state offenders at Babylon. This usage, although not mentioned by any other ancient authority, has received remarkable confirmation (see Truths of Revelation demonstrated by an Appeal to Monuments, etc., by a Fellow of seven learned Societies, Lond. 1831) from certain remains discovered in that region by modern travelers (Kitto, Pict. Bible, note on Dan_6:16), especially one on a block of white marble found near the tomb of Daniel at Susa, and thus described by Sir R. K. Porter in his Travels in Persia (ii. 416): It does not exceed ten inches in width and depth, measures twenty in length, and is hollow within, as if to receive some deposit. Three of its sides are cut in bas-relief, two of them with similar representations of a man apparently naked, except a sash round his waist and a sort of cap on his head. His hands are bound behind him. The corner of the stone forms the neck of the figure, so that its head forms one of its ends. Two lions in sitting posture appear on either side at the top, each having a paw on the head of the man. SEE LION.
