Strong's Lexicon mikmereth: Net, snare Original Word: מִכְמֶרֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root כמר (kamar), meaning "to bind" or "to tie." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1350 (diktuon) - net - G3802 (pagis) - snare, trap Usage: The term "mikmereth" refers to a net or snare, typically used for catching fish or birds. It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe traps or entanglements that can ensnare individuals, both physically and spiritually. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fishing was a common occupation, especially in regions near bodies of water like the Sea of Galilee. Nets were essential tools for fishermen, and their use is frequently mentioned in the Bible. The concept of a net also carried symbolic weight, representing the idea of being caught or trapped, whether by enemies, sin, or divine judgment.
