Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is παγίς (pagis), Strong's Greek #3803, which also means snare or trap.

Usage: The term "Chattil" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a snare or a net, often metaphorically representing traps or entanglements that can ensnare individuals, particularly in a moral or spiritual sense. It conveys the idea of being caught or trapped by deceit or sin.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hunting and fishing were common practices, and nets or snares were essential tools for capturing animals and fish. These tools became powerful metaphors in biblical literature, symbolizing the dangers and entrapments of sin, idolatry, and the deceitful schemes of the wicked. The imagery of a snare is used to warn the faithful of the subtle and often hidden dangers that can lead one away from righteousness.
