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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>pass. part. of <a href="/hebrew/3369.htm">yaqosh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a fowler, trapper<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fowler (1), fowlers (1), 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">יָקוּשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> id.;
