It is a term that reflects the intention to capture or entangle, whether physically or morally.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, hunting and trapping were common practices for procuring food and protecting crops. Snares and traps were tools of survival, but they also became powerful metaphors in Hebrew literature and thought. The concept of being ensnared was often used to describe the dangers of falling into sin or being led astray by false teachings or deceitful individuals. The imagery of a snare is prevalent in wisdom literature, highlighting the need for vigilance and discernment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5367.htm">naqash</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to knock<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>knocking (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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>smote <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5367.htm">naqash</a>; but used in the sense of <a href="/hebrew/5362.htm">naqaph</a>; to knock -- smote. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5367.htm">naqash</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5362.htm">naqaph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>נָֽקְשָֽׁן׃ נקשן׃ nā·qə·šān NakeShan nāqəšān<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/5-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 5:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">דָּ֥א לְדָ֖א <b> נָֽקְשָֽׁן׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and his knees <span class="itali">began knocking</span> together.<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and his knees <span class="itali">smote</span> one<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> together together <span class="itali">knocking</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5368.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5368.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5368<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/nakeshan_5368.htm">nā·qə·šān — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/5367.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5367"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5367" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5369.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5369"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5369" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
