To close (repair) a breach

Closing a breach or an unwanted opening. Figuratively: preventing the possibility of committing sin.

("And you did not build a fence for the house of Israel to close the breach, meaning to repair the generation, for you were like foxes, and it is good for them to enter through the breach there" - Malbim, Ezekiel 13:5; and also: "Lonely sounds... which also were enough for closing breaches and restoring to it the sense of security it had in its youth" - Deborah Baron / Exiles, 110)
