This concept is frequently used in narratives where one party gains ground on another, often with significant consequences.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, "overtook" is commonly used in the context of military pursuits or divine retribution. One notable instance is found in the Book of Genesis, where Laban overtakes Jacob. After Jacob flees from Laban with his family and possessions, Laban pursues him and eventually catches up:<br><br><i>"So Laban overtook Jacob, who had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban and his brothers camped there as well."</i> (<a href="/genesis/31-25.htm">Genesis 31:25</a>)<br><br>This passage illustrates the tension and conflict between Jacob and Laban, highlighting themes of family strife and divine protection, as God warns Laban in a dream not to harm Jacob.<br><br>Another significant occurrence is in the Book of Exodus, during the pursuit of the Israelites by Pharaoh's army. As the Israelites flee Egypt, Pharaoh's forces catch up with them at the Red Sea:<br><br><i>"The Egyptians&#8212;all Pharaoh&#8217;s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops&#8212;pursued and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon."</i> (<a href="/exodus/14-9.htm">Exodus 14:9</a>)<br><br>This event sets the stage for one of the most dramatic acts of divine deliverance in the Bible, as God parts the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to escape and subsequently destroying the Egyptian army.<br><br><b>Prophetic and Poetic Contexts</b><br><br>In the prophetic and poetic books, "overtook" can symbolize the inevitability of divine judgment or blessing. In Deuteronomy, Moses warns the Israelites of the consequences of disobedience:<br><br><i>"All these curses will come upon you, pursuing and overtaking you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the LORD your God and keep the commandments and statutes He gave you."</i> (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-45.htm">Deuteronomy 28:45</a>)<br><br>This passage underscores the certainty of God's justice, emphasizing that disobedience will lead to unavoidable consequences.<br><br>Conversely, the blessings of obedience are also described in terms of pursuit and overtaking:<br><br><i>"All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the voice of the LORD your God."</i> (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-2.htm">Deuteronomy 28:2</a>)<br><br>Here, the imagery of overtaking is used to convey the abundance and certainty of God's favor for those who follow His commandments.<br><br><b>New Testament Considerations</b><br><br>While the specific term "overtook" is less frequently used in the New Testament, the concept remains relevant, particularly in the context of spiritual pursuit and the inevitability of God's plans. The New Testament emphasizes the pursuit of righteousness and the assurance of God's promises, echoing the Old Testament themes of divine intervention and fulfillment.<br><br>Overall, the term "overtook" in the Bible serves as a powerful metaphor for the certainty of God's actions, whether in judgment or blessing, and the unfolding of His divine plan throughout history.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp.</I>) of Overtake.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/1692.htm"><span class="l">1692. dabaq -- to cling, cleave, keep close</span></a><br><b>...</b> grip (1), follow closely (1), held fast (1), hold (2), hold fast (2), holding fast<br> (1), joined (2), joined together (1), overtake (1), <b>overtook</b> (5), pursued <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/1692.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/5381.htm"><span class="l">5381. nasag -- to reach, overtake</span></a><br><b>...</b> 1), find (1), insufficient (2), last until (2), limited (1), means* (1), obtain<br> (1), overtake (17), overtaken (2), overtakes (1), <b>overtook</b> (6), prospers (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/5381.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/4672.htm"><span class="l">4672. matsa -- to attain to, find</span></a><br><b>...</b> 3), happen (1), happened (2), has (1), have (2), here (1), hit (1), invents (1),<br> left (2), located (2), meet (2), met (3), overtake (2), <b>overtook</b> (1), pleases <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/4672.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/pamphilius/the_life_of_constantine/chapter_liv_what_vengeance_overtook_those.htm"><span class="l">What Vengeance <b>Overtook</b> those who on Account of the Oracle Raised <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Book II.
