2 And the hand of Midʹi·an came to prevail over Israel.+ Due to Midʹi·an the sons of Israel made for themselves the underground store places that were in the mountains, and the caves and the places difficult to approach.+

6 And the men of Israel themselves saw that they were in sore straits,+ because the people were hard pressed; and the people went hiding themselves in the caves+ and the hollows and the crags and the vaults* and the waterpits.
