The Hebrew word חֲגָוִים (H2288) is translated as "cleft." According to its definition, it refers to a physical split or separation in a rock or a mountain. The fact that it occurs only three times in the Bible suggests that its usage is limited to specific situations or contexts. The word "cleft" implies a separation or division within a larger whole, creating a distinct opening or passage. This could have significant implications in a geological or natural context, where the separation of two parts allows for water flow, animal migration, or other natural processes. The rarity of its usage in the Bible may indicate that it held a particular importance or distinctiveness in the original context where it was used.
