'Trapping' in the Bible
But the woman said to him, "Look, you are aware of what Saul has done; he has removed the mediums and magicians from the land! Why are you trapping me so you can put me to death?"
Therefore trapping nets [are] all around you, and panic suddenly terrifies you,
Dread, and pit, and a trapping net [are] against you, O inhabitant of Moab," {declares} Yahweh.
"He [who] flees {before} the dread will fall into the pit, and the [one who] climbs up from the pit will be caught in the trapping net, for I will bring on Moab the year of their punishment," {declares} Yahweh.
Does a bird fall into a trapping net on the earth when there is no snare for it? Does a trapping net spring up from the ground unless it has certainly caught something?
