Original Word: רֶשֶׁת
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: resheth
Pronunciation: reh'-sheth
Phonetic Spelling: (reh'-sheth)
Definition: Net
Meaning: a net

Word Origin: From the root verb יָרַשׁ (yarash), meaning "to possess" or "to inherit."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1350 (diktuon): Refers to a net, particularly in the context of fishing, as seen in the New Testament (e.g., Matthew 4:20).

Usage: The Hebrew word "resheth" primarily refers to a net, often used in the context of hunting or fishing. It is a tool designed to capture or ensnare, symbolizing entrapment or capture. In the biblical text, it can be used both literally, as in the physical net used by fishermen, and metaphorically, to describe situations of entrapment or deceit.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, nets were essential tools for survival, used by fishermen to catch fish and by hunters to trap birds and small animals. The imagery of a net is also prevalent in biblical literature, symbolizing the cunning and often hidden nature of traps set by enemies or the wicked. The net's ability to ensnare unsuspecting prey made it a powerful metaphor for danger and deceit.
