Berean Strong's Lexicon tsud: To hunt, to catch, to lay snares Original Word: צוד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2334 (θεωρέω, theōreō) - to look at, behold - G2347 (θλῖψις, thlipsis) - tribulation, pressure Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsud" primarily means to hunt or to catch, often in the context of pursuing animals for food. It can also imply laying snares or traps, indicating a strategic or cunning approach to capturing prey. The term is used both literally, in the context of hunting animals, and metaphorically, in describing the pursuit or entrapment of people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hunting was a common practice, especially among those living in rural areas. It was not only a means of providing food but also a skill that required knowledge of the land and animal behavior. Hunting was often associated with strength and bravery. In a broader cultural context, the act of hunting could symbolize the pursuit of goals or the overcoming of obstacles. The metaphorical use of "tsud" in the Bible often reflects themes of entrapment or deceit, highlighting the moral and ethical dimensions of human interactions.
