Openings in the dust entered for shelter · dominant
In Isaiah 2:19, the feminine plural construct form occurs in the scene where people enter places in the rocks and dust before the LORD's dread. The APB renders the verse, "They will enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the dust," confirming an opening in the dust within that refuge scene.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Isaiah 2:19, the APB presents the relevant setting as "the holes of the dust." This describes the verse's presentation rather than assigning that English phrase mechanically to the lemma.
