Between the lines. Figuratively: what is implied in words but not explicitly stated (Shitin means lines, also the plural of the word “line/row”).

("And Joshua son of Nun sent from the lines two men to spy secretly, saying: Go, see the land and Jericho" – Joshua 2:1; and: From between the lines it emerges from the company representative's words that a significant reform is planned in the company structure; and: "R. Shimon Shazuri says there: the whole name consists of letters, not a single letter is missing. He erred the whole name, they hung it between the lines, says R. Yehuda" – Small Tractates, Tractate Sopherim 5:5; and: "The rabbi hung to Rabbi Bini Chiti – sent him a letter of peace and hung this question between the lines" – Rashi 66a; and: "Another Torah enters by itself, rising from the ‘Siddur’ between the lines and joins what has long been in my heart" – Bialik / Sefikh, 3:154; and: "Just as the error is hidden between the lines in the number system, so surely is that error hidden in us" – Y. Borla / Kisufim, 210; and: "Even the history chapters… their heaviness was removed, and they—as if inserted between their lines with spacing—became lighter and clearer" – Deborah Baron / Golim, 88)
