Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root verb לָכַד (lakad), meaning "to capture" or "to seize."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a snare or trap in the Hebrew Bible is paralleled in the Greek New Testament by terms such as παγίς (pagis), which is Strong's Greek Number G3803. However, for a broader thematic connection, one might consider the Greek term σαλεύω (saleuō), Strong's Greek Number G4531, which means "to shake" or "to cause to totter." While not a direct translation, the idea of being shaken or unsettled can metaphorically relate to the destabilizing effect of falling into a snare or trap.

Usage: The term לֶכֶד is used in the context of capturing or ensnaring, often metaphorically to describe traps or pitfalls that one might encounter.

Context: לֶכֶד (leched) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a noun that signifies a trap or snare, typically used for capturing animals or metaphorically to describe situations that ensnare individuals. The concept of a snare is frequently employed in biblical literature to illustrate the dangers and entrapments that can lead individuals away from righteousness or into peril. The imagery of a snare is potent in conveying the suddenness and subtlety with which one can be caught unawares. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is often translated in contexts that warn against the deceitful and hidden dangers that can lead to spiritual or moral downfall. The use of לֶכֶד underscores the importance of vigilance and discernment in avoiding such entrapments.
