Berean Strong's Lexicon akas: To ensnare, to lure, to entice Original Word: עָכַס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "akas," the concept of enticement or leading astray can be found in Greek words such as "πλανάω" (planáō - Strong's Greek 4105), which means to lead astray or deceive. Usage: The Hebrew verb "akas" primarily conveys the idea of ensnaring or luring someone into a trap. It is often used metaphorically to describe the act of enticing someone into wrongdoing or leading them astray. The term suggests a deliberate and cunning action, often with malicious intent. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of ensnaring or luring was often associated with hunting or trapping animals. This imagery was then applied metaphorically to human interactions, particularly in the context of moral and spiritual seduction. The Israelites were frequently warned against being led astray by foreign influences or false teachings, which were seen as traps set by adversaries.
