This lexical entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew verb פָתָה (pāṯâ), illustrating its varied applications and implications within the biblical text. Usage: • The verb פָתָה (pāṯâ) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often implying the act of persuasion or deception. It can refer to the act of enticing someone into a particular action or belief, often with negative connotations of leading someone astray or into folly. Context: • The Hebrew verb פָתָה (pāṯâ) appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament, illustrating a range of meanings from simple openness to deceptive persuasion. In its most basic sense, it can mean "to open" or "to be spacious," suggesting a state of being open to influence or persuasion. This openness can lead to naivety or simplicity, as seen in Proverbs 1:32, where the simple are led astray by their lack of discernment. • The term is often used in a negative sense, indicating deception or enticement. For example, in Judges 14:15, Samson's wife is urged to "entice" him to reveal the answer to his riddle. Similarly, in Hosea 2:14, God speaks of alluring Israel, using the term in a redemptive context to draw His people back to Himself. • The verb also appears in contexts of seduction or leading someone into sin, as in Exodus 22:16, where a man who "entices" a virgin is required to marry her. This usage underscores the potential for manipulation inherent in the term, highlighting the moral and ethical dimensions of persuasion and influence in biblical narratives.
