The word snare shows up in the Bible a number of times but it is translated from more than one word.

The Hebrew word pach חפ appears as snare 22 times but also, gin and plate twice each.[1] It can mean both a bird trap and an agent of calamity[2]

The primitive root of Pach is pachach חחפ which means snared as "to ensnare, trap".[3] It appears only in Isaiah 42:22 "But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore."

A much different word mowqesh[4] שׁקומ is also translated "snare" some 20 times but also gin, trap, ensnared, snared.[5]

Its primitive root is yaqosh[6] שׁקי and appears as a form of snare some half dozen times.[7]

There is also naqash[8] שׁקנ appearing only a few times in the Bible.[9]

There is another word that appears as snare only once and that is sᵉbakah[10] הכבשׂ. While it appears some 15 times[11] in the Bible it normally is translated network having to do with lattice-work or a net and netting. It is from the word sabak [12] ךבשׂ which also appears only once in the Bible.[13]

We should also look at the word trap which we see instead of snare and once in Job 18:10 "The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way."

It is from malkodeth [14] תדכלמ which is from lakad [15] דכל meaning to to capture, take, seize.

And finally there is mashchiyth [16] תיחשׁמ which really is a complex word meaning ruin, destruction from the word shachath[17] תחשׁ meaning to destroy or corrupt.

And finally there is Romans 11:9 "And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:" Where the words trap and snare both appear when Paul is quoting from the David from the Old Testament.

The word we see as trap is thera [18] θήρα and is used in conjunction with the Greek term pagis παγίς meaning a snare, trap, noose as we will see below.



New Testament

In the New Testament we see pagis [19] παγίς appearing five times[20] meaning snare, trap, noose.

Another word is [21] appearing only in 1 Corinthians 7:35 "And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction."
