'Places' in the Bible

“Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.

Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.

The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.
