This is a textually difficult word in Isaiah 2:20, where people cast away their idols. The Masoretic Text reads 'to dig holes,' but many scholars emend to 'to the moles' (לַחֲפַרְפָּרוֹת), reading it as a noun rather than an infinitive. The context mentions bats, making 'moles' a plausible parallel—both are creatures living in dark, hidden places. The image would be idols thrown into the realm of unclean, underground-dwelling animals.
