The term appears in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, illustrating both physical and spiritual dangers. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, traps are frequently mentioned in the context of hunting and warfare. For example, in <a href="/psalms/91-3.htm">Psalm 91:3</a>, the psalmist declares, "Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly plague." Here, the "snare of the fowler" is a metaphor for hidden dangers and the protection God provides against them. The concept of a trap is also used to describe the deceitful schemes of the wicked. In <a href="/psalms/140-5.htm">Psalm 140:5</a>, it is written, "The proud have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and set traps along my path." This verse highlights the malicious intent of the wicked to entrap the righteous. In the wisdom literature, particularly in Proverbs, traps are often symbolic of the consequences of folly and sin. <a href="/proverbs/22-5.htm">Proverbs 22:5</a> states, "Thorns and snares lie on the path of the perverse; he who guards his soul stays far from them." This illustrates the moral and spiritual pitfalls that await those who stray from the path of righteousness. New Testament Usage In the New Testament, the idea of a trap is frequently associated with the spiritual realm and the tactics of Satan. In <a href="/1_timothy/3-7.htm">1 Timothy 3:7</a>, Paul advises that a church leader "must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil." This warning underscores the spiritual traps that can lead to moral failure and disrepute. Jesus Himself used the imagery of a trap in His teachings. In <a href="/luke/21-34.htm">Luke 21:34</a>, He cautions, "But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life—and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a trap." Here, Jesus warns of the spiritual lethargy and distractions that can ensnare believers, leading them away from readiness for His return. Theological Implications Theologically, traps in the Bible often represent the subtle and deceptive nature of sin and temptation. They serve as a reminder of the vigilance required to maintain spiritual integrity and the need for divine protection. The imagery of a trap underscores the importance of wisdom, discernment, and reliance on God to navigate the moral and spiritual challenges of life. Practical Application For believers, the biblical concept of a trap serves as a call to be watchful and prayerful. <a href="/ephesians/6-11.htm">Ephesians 6:11</a> exhorts Christians to "put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes." This passage emphasizes the necessity of spiritual preparedness and the protective power of God's truth and righteousness. In summary, the motif of a trap in the Bible is a powerful symbol of the hidden dangers and deceptions that can lead individuals away from God's path. It calls for a life of vigilance, prayer, and dependence on God's guidance and protection.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (v. t.)

Such devices were common in taking the largest animals and may have been used with birds also. Trap is mentioned frequently in connection with snare and in such manner as to indicate that they were different devices: "Know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you" (<a href="/joshua/23-13.htm">Joshua 23:13</a>). Another such reference will be found in <a href="/psalms/69-22.htm">Psalm 69:22</a>: "Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, let it become a trap." This is quoted in <a href="/romans/11-9.htm">Romans 11:9</a>: "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them." An instance where a trap alone is referred to can be found in <a href="/jeremiah/5-26.htm">Jeremiah 5:26</a>: "They set a trap, they catch men." <a href="/isaiah/42-22.htm">Isaiah 42:22</a> uses this expression, "snared in holes." This might mean that a snare was placed in a hole, or that the hole was the snare to lure bird or animal to its death. The former proposition is sustained by Job, who says, "A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way" (18:10). This translation appears as if it were reversed and should read, "A trap is hid for him in the ground and a noose in the way."
