It is a tool designed to catch fish by luring them with bait. The term can also metaphorically imply being caught or ensnared, reflecting a sense of being drawn into something.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, fishing was a common occupation, especially in regions near bodies of water like the Sea of Galilee. Hooks were essential tools for fishermen, who relied on them to provide food and trade goods. The use of hooks in fishing is a practice that dates back thousands of years, and it was a familiar concept to the people of biblical times. The imagery of a hook would have been easily understood by the original audience of the Scriptures.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2441.htm">chek</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a hook, fishhook<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fishhook (1), hook (1), line (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">חַכָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hook fastened in jaw</b></font>, <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>fish-hook</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">חַכְּתָא</font>) — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/40-25.htm">Job 40:25</a> 2t.;
