Berean Strong's Lexicon lakad: To capture, seize, take, catch, ensnare Original Word: לָכַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4815 (sullambanō): To seize, capture, or take hold of. - G2221 (zōgreō): To catch alive, to capture. Usage: The Hebrew verb "lakad" primarily means to capture or seize, often used in the context of taking a city, capturing people, or ensnaring someone in a trap. It conveys the idea of overcoming or taking control, whether in a military, strategic, or metaphorical sense. The term can also imply being caught or ensnared in a non-physical sense, such as being trapped by one's own words or actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of capturing or seizing was significant in both military and spiritual contexts. Cities were often fortified, and capturing them required strategic planning and execution. The term "lakad" reflects the realities of ancient warfare, where cities and territories were frequently contested. Spiritually, the idea of being ensnared or captured by sin or false teachings was a powerful metaphor used by prophets and teachers to warn the people of Israel.
