The net is mentioned numerous times throughout the Bible, serving as a metaphor for various spiritual and moral lessons.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The net is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament, often in the context of hunting and fishing. In <a href="/habakkuk/1-15.htm">Habakkuk 1:15</a>, the prophet describes the Chaldeans as fishermen who "catch them all with a hook, they drag them away with a net, and gather them in their fishing net; so they rejoice and are glad." Here, the net symbolizes the power and success of the Chaldeans in capturing their prey, which in this context refers to nations and peoples.<br><br>In <a href="/proverbs/1-17.htm">Proverbs 1:17</a>, the futility of setting a trap in full view of the intended prey is highlighted: "How futile it is to spread the net in the sight of any bird!" This proverb underscores the theme of wisdom and the importance of discernment, warning against the folly of obvious traps.<br><br>The net also appears in the Psalms as a metaphor for the snares and dangers that the righteous face. <a href="/psalms/140-5.htm">Psalm 140:5</a> states, "The proud have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and set traps along my path." Here, the net represents the schemes of the wicked against the righteous, emphasizing the need for divine protection and deliverance.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the net is prominently featured in the context of Jesus' ministry and teachings. The calling of the first disciples is a significant event involving nets. In <a href="/matthew/4-18.htm">Matthew 4:18-20</a>, Jesus calls Simon Peter and Andrew, who were casting a net into the sea, saying, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." The net here symbolizes the new mission of the disciples to gather people into the kingdom of God.<br><br>The parable of the net in <a href="/matthew/13-47.htm">Matthew 13:47-50</a> further illustrates the kingdom of heaven: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away." This parable highlights the final judgment, where the righteous and the wicked will be separated, much like the sorting of fish.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Themes</b><br><br>The net serves as a powerful symbol throughout Scripture, representing both the provision and the judgment of God. It is a tool for gathering, whether it be fish or people, and signifies the inclusive nature of God's call. However, it also serves as a warning of entrapment and the consequences of sin, as seen in the snares set by the wicked.<br><br>In a broader spiritual sense, the net can be seen as a representation of God's sovereignty and the ultimate fulfillment of His divine plan. The imagery of the net captures the dual aspects of God's character—His grace in gathering His people and His justice in separating the righteous from the unrighteous.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Net</span><p>[See FISHING]<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>In use among the Hebrews for fishing, hunting, and fowling. The fishing-net was probably constructed after the form of that used by the Egyptians (<a href="/isaiah/19-8.htm">Isaiah 19:8</a>). There were three kinds of nets. <p>(1.) The drag-net or hauling-net (Gr. sagene), of great size, and requiring many men to work it. It was usually let down from the fishing-boat, and then drawn to the shore or into the boat, as circumstances might require (<a href="/matthew/13-47.htm">Matthew 13:47</a>, 48). <p>(2.) The hand-net or casting-net (Gr. amphiblestron), which was thrown from a rock or a boat at any fish that might be seen (<a href="/matthew/4-18.htm">Matthew 4:18</a>; <a href="/mark/1-16.htm">Mark 1:16</a>). It was called by the Latins funda. It was of circular form, "like the top of a tent." <p>(3.) The bag-net (Gr. diktyon), used for enclosing fish in deep water (<a href="/luke/5-4.htm">Luke 5:4</a>-9).<p>The fowling-nets were (1) the trap, consisting of a net spread over a frame, and supported by a stick in such a way that it fell with the slightest touch (<a href="/amos/3-5.htm">Amos 3:5</a>, "gin;" <a href="/psalms/69-22.htm">Psalm 69:22</a>; <a href="/job/18-9.htm">Job 18:9</a>; <a href="/ecclesiastes/9-12.htm">Ecclesiastes 9:12</a>). (2) The snare, consisting of a cord to catch birds by the leg (<a href="/job/18-10.htm">Job 18:10</a>; <a href="/psalms/18-5.htm">Psalm 18:5</a>; <a href="/psalms/116-3.htm">116:3</a>; <a href="/psalms/140-5.htm">140:5</a>). <p>(3.) The decoy, a cage filled with birds as decoys (<a href="/jeremiah/5-26.htm">Jeremiah 5:26</a>, 27). Hunting-nets were much in use among the Hebrews. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
