Exegesis
The prepositional basela {בַסֶּלַע | baś-sé-lāʿ} ‘in the rock’ specifies location, with beitam {בֵּיתָם | bêṯā-m} ‘their house’ as its object in construct plus pronominal suffix. This structure creates a contrastive parallelism, emphasizing the hyraxes’ vulnerability and their wise choice of secure habitat.
In context — Proverbs 30:26
The conies are a people not mighty, yet they set their house in the rock .
