אֵסוּר ʼêçûwr · H612 · thong, strap, bond

Both words denote physical restraints or bindings (bands, bonds), overlapping as words for binding implements. אֵסוּר (ʼêçûwr, H612) also carries the sense 'prison', giving it a broader range (the place as well as the implement), but its core sense of 'band' overlaps directly with the target term.

מֵיתָר mêythâr · H4340 · cord, string

Both the target term and מֵיתָר (mêythâr, H4340) denote flexible, rope-like fastening objects that can genuinely substitute for one another in many contexts — classic same-language near-synonyms in the semantic field of cords, though this has not been confirmed at the verse level.
