"The pit" refers to the grave; because the grave was thought to be the entrance to the world of the dead, the pit also represents that world. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 32:18](../32/18.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# those who brought terror on the land of the living
|

# the land of the living
