Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sagéné," the concept of a net is present in the Old Testament, such as in the Hebrew word מִכְמוֹרֶת (mikmoret), Strong's Hebrew 4365, which also refers to a fishing net. Usage: The term "sagéné" refers to a large fishing net, specifically a dragnet, which is used to encircle and capture a large number of fish. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the kingdom of heaven and the final judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, fishing was a common occupation, especially in regions surrounding the Sea of Galilee. Fishermen used various types of nets, including the dragnet, which was designed to catch a large quantity of fish by being dragged along the bottom of the water. This imagery would have been familiar to Jesus' audience, many of whom were fishermen or lived in fishing communities.
