Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G5016 (trogylos), which refers to a snare or trap. While the Greek term is not a direct translation of רֹכֶס, it shares a similar conceptual meaning in the context of entrapment or ensnaring, often used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe spiritual or moral pitfalls.

Note: The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) does not contain a direct translation of רֹכֶס, as it is a specific Hebrew term with limited occurrences in the biblical text. However, the concept of a snare is prevalent throughout scripture, emphasizing the need for awareness and caution in one's spiritual journey.

Usage: The term רֹכֶס is used in the context of a snare or trap, typically in a metaphorical sense to describe something that ensnares or entraps a person, leading to their downfall or capture.

Context: The Hebrew word רֹכֶס (rokes) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a snare or trap. It is derived from the root רָכַס (rakhas), which conveys the idea of binding or tying, suggesting the function of a snare as something that captures or holds fast. In biblical literature, snares are often used metaphorically to describe the dangers and temptations that can lead individuals away from righteousness or into peril. The imagery of a snare is powerful, evoking the sudden and often unexpected nature of entrapment. The use of רֹכֶס in scripture serves as a warning against the subtle and deceptive nature of sin and the importance of vigilance in maintaining one's spiritual integrity.
