It conveys the idea of capturing or deceiving, often with malicious intent. In the biblical context, it is frequently used to describe the actions of the wicked or the consequences of sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, hunting and trapping were common practices for procuring food and protecting livestock. Snares and traps were tools used by hunters to catch animals. Metaphorically, these terms were applied to describe the deceitful schemes of individuals or nations. The imagery of a snare is potent in the biblical narrative, symbolizing the dangers and entrapments of sin and the cunning of adversaries.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lay a bait or lure<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ensnared (1), set (1), set a snare (1), snared (4), trapper (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">יָקשׁ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>lay a bait or lure</b></font> (see <font class="hebrew2">מוֺקֵשׁ</font>), then Generally lay snares (see also <font class="hebrew2">נקשׁ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">קוֺשׁ</font>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">יָק֫שְׁתִּי</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/50-24.htm">Jeremiah 50:24</a>; <font class="hebrew2">יָָֽקְשׁוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/141-9.htm">Psalm 141:9</a>; <em>Participle</em> plural <font class="hebrew2">יוֺקְשִׁים</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/124-7.htm">Psalm 124:7</a>; — <em>lay snares</em>, figurative of devices of wicked <a href="/interlinear/psalms/141-9.htm">Psalm 141:9</a> (with accusative of congnate meaning with verb); of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>s plan to destroy Babylon <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/50-24.htm">Jeremiah 50:24</a> <font class="hebrew2">יקשׁתי לך וגם נלכדר</font>; <em>Participle</em> as substantive <em>bait-layers, fowlers</em> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/124-7.htm">Psalm 124:7</a> (compare <a href="/interlinear/psalms/141-9.htm">Psalm 141:9</a>) simile <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Niph`al</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">נוֺקַ֫שְׁתָּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/6-2.htm">Proverbs 6:2</a>; <font class="hebrew2">וְנוֺקְשׁוּ</font> consecutive <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/8-15.htm">Isaiah 8:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/28-13.htm">Isaiah 28:13</a>; <em>Imperfect</em>2masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">תִּוָּקֵשׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/7-25.htm">Deuteronomy 7:25</a>; <em>be caught by a bait, ensnared</em>, in business entanglements <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/6-2.htm">Proverbs 6:2</a>; in disastrous consequences of idolatry <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/7-25.htm">Deuteronomy 7:25</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">נלכד</font>); of those ensnared by <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>s plans (followed by <font class="hebrew2">ונלכדו</font>) <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/8-15.htm">Isaiah 8:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/28-13.htm">Isaiah 28:13</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pu`al</b></font> <em>Participle</em> <font class="hebrew2">יוּקָשִׁים</font> (for <font class="hebrew2">מְיוּקָשִׁים</font>, unless this should be read: Ges<sup>§ 52</sup>.
