steep place, cliff (noun); precipitous rocky terrain or constructed stairs
This Hebrew noun describes steep or precipitous places. In Song of Songs 2:14, it appears parallel to 'the rock' (סֶלַע), depicting the dove hidden in clefts of steep cliffs. In Ezekiel 38:20, it stands alongside mountains and walls in describing the cosmic shaking at God's judgment. The word may refer both to natural rock faces and to constructed stairways or stepped approaches. Spanish translators use both 'escalinata' (stairway) and 'gradas' (steps), suggesting ambiguity between natural and artificial steeps.

1. sense 1 — Denotes steep places, whether natural cliff faces or constructed stepped ascents. The Song of Songs context clearly indicates natural rocky precipices where doves nest, while Ezekiel's usage in a list with mountains suggests natural terrain features that will shake in divine judgment. French and German transliterations along with Spanish's dual rendering (cliff/stairway) reflect uncertainty whether this always means natural steeps or sometimes architectural steps. 2×
