Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָרַשׁ (yarash), meaning "to possess" or "to inherit," which can imply capturing or ensnaring.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1350: δίκτυον (diktyon) • A net, used in the context of fishing.
• G2339: θήρα (thēra) • A trap or snare, often used metaphorically.
• G3803: παγίς (pagis) • A trap or snare, used both literally and figuratively to describe entrapment or deception.

These Greek terms reflect similar themes of capture and entrapment found in the Hebrew רֶשֶׁת, illustrating the continuity of these concepts across the biblical texts.

Usage: The term רֶשֶׁת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical net used for catching animals or fish. It is also employed metaphorically to depict traps or snares set for individuals, often in a context of danger or deceit.

Context: רֶשֶׁת (reshet) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, illustrating both literal and figurative uses. In its literal sense, it refers to a woven device used by hunters and fishermen to capture prey. For example, in Habakkuk 1:15, it is used to describe the method by which fish are caught: "The Chaldeans bring all of them up with a hook; they catch them in their net and gather them in their dragnet." This imagery conveys the idea of being ensnared or trapped, often used metaphorically to describe the schemes of the wicked or the entrapment of the innocent. In Psalm 9:15, the psalmist declares, "The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden." Here, רֶשֶׁת symbolizes the consequences of one's own deceitful actions. The use of רֶשֶׁת in the Hebrew Bible underscores themes of divine justice and the moral order, where those who set traps for others ultimately fall into them themselves.
