This term appears in passages such as 1 Timothy 6:9, where it warns of the dangers of falling into temptation and a snare.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "naqash" primarily means to ensnare or to lay a trap. It is used metaphorically to describe the act of enticing or luring someone into a situation that leads to their downfall or entrapment. This term often carries a negative connotation, implying deceit or malicious intent.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, hunting and trapping were common practices for survival. The imagery of setting a trap would have been familiar to the original audience, symbolizing the cunning and often hidden nature of sin and temptation. The concept of being ensnared is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the spiritual and moral dangers that can lead individuals away from God's commandments.<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 knock, strike, hit, strike or bring down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ensnared (1), lay snares (1), laying a snare (1), seize (1), snared (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">נָקַשׁ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>knock, strike</b></font> only in specific sense of hit, strike or bring down (a bird), and only figurative (Ecclus <font class="hebrew2">ינקש</font> Ecclesiasticus 41:2c <em>striketh</em> against (<font class="hebrew2">ב</font>; margin <font class="hebrew2">ונוקש</font>), so <font class="hebrew2">נוקש ב</font> 13:2c; Late Hebrew <em>knock, strike</em> e.g. the knees, or a door (so Hiph`il); Aramaic (including Biblical Aramaic) <font class="hebrew2">נְקַשׁ</font> <em>id.</em>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb066905.gif"> <em>fixit, impegit, percussit</em>, etc. (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb066906.gif"> <em>strike in, carve</em>, etc., is loan-word Frä<sup>194</sup>); — the Hebrew verb apparently means <em>bring down with a</em> [certain kind of] <em>stick</em>, perhaps like a boomerang, see description and illustration in Wilkinson<sup>gypten 323</sup> WMM<sup>Asien u.
