Strong's Lexicon yaqush: To ensnare, to lay a trap, to catch Original Word: יָקוּשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of ensnaring or trapping in the New Testament can be related to Greek words such as "παγίς" (pagis - Strong's G3803), which also means a trap or snare. Usage: The Hebrew verb "yaqush" primarily means to ensnare or lay a trap. It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the act of setting a trap for someone, either physically or morally. The term conveys the idea of capturing or deceiving someone, often with malicious intent. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hunting and trapping were common practices for procuring food and protecting livestock. Traps were often set for animals, and the imagery of trapping was extended metaphorically to human interactions. The concept of ensnaring is frequently used in the Bible to describe the deceitful actions of the wicked or the dangers of falling into sin. The metaphor of a trap highlights the cunning and often hidden nature of sin and temptation.
