Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint that aligns with the concept of lurking or ambushing is found in Strong's Greek Number G1748, ἐνέδρα (enedra), which similarly denotes an ambush or a lying in wait. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe similar acts of deceit or hidden aggression, maintaining the thematic continuity between the Hebrew and Greek scriptures regarding the moral implications of such actions. Usage: The verb אָרַב (arav) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of lying in wait or ambushing. It often conveys a sense of stealth and hidden intent, typically with a negative connotation, as it is associated with deceit or malicious intent. Context: The Hebrew verb אָרַב (arav) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often depicting scenarios where individuals or groups lie in wait to attack or deceive others. This term is frequently used in narratives involving military tactics, personal vendettas, or criminal activities. For instance, in Judges 9:32, the term is used to describe the ambush set by Abimelech against the city of Shechem: "Now then, tonight you and the people with you are to come and lie in wait in the fields." Similarly, in Proverbs 1:11, it is used metaphorically to describe the enticement of sinners: "If they say, 'Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause.'" The concept of lurking or ambushing is often associated with treachery and danger, highlighting the moral and ethical implications of deceitful behavior. The use of אָרַב (arav) underscores the hidden and often sinister nature of such actions, contrasting with the values of transparency and righteousness upheld in biblical teachings.
