רֶשֶׁת

מִכְמֶרֶת mikmereth · H4365 · casting net

Both denote nets or netting implements used for capture, as in fishing or hunting, and overlap in sense.

מוֹקֵשׁ môwqêsh · H4170 · trap

Both lexemes denote physical trapping/snaring devices used to capture prey or enemies—genuine same-language near-synonyms that could overlap in sense and usage context. This is a real synonymy relationship.

מַכְמָר makmâr · H4364 · net

Both denote a net used for trapping and can substitute for each other in the sense of "net."

שְׂבָכָה sᵉbâkâh · H7639 · lattice, latticework, network

Both words denote woven or latticed structures used as nets or traps. שְׂבָכָה (sᵉbâkâh, H7639) has a slightly broader range, including architectural lattice and wreath work, but its core sense of network or net overlaps directly with רֶשֶׁת (resheth, H7568).

מַלְכֹּדֶת malkôdeth · H4434 · trap

Both are concrete hunting/capturing devices in the same functional category ("Traps") and could substitute for each other in many contexts as genuine same-language near-synonyms.

παγίς pagís · G3803 · trap, snare, danger

Greek παγίς renders Hebrew רֶשֶׁת in contexts where both denote trapping devices (literal nets or snares), though παγίς carries stronger figurative extension to stratagem/temptation in Greek usage while רֶשֶׁת remains more concrete in its semantic range.

δίκτυον díktyon · G1350 · net, fishnet, casting-net

Greek δίκτυον specifies a fishing net (seine), while Hebrew רֶשֶׁת covers nets generally including fishing, hunting, and metaphorical trapping contexts.

Traps001003001001018

Job 18:8 pictures the wicked "thrown into the net by his own feet," and Psalm 9:16 says "a wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands," both attesting the ensnaring trap this word denotes.

Shape002001001052

Exodus 27:4-5 and Exodus 38:4 describe a "grating, a netting of bronze" made for the altar, attesting the woven, lattice-like form this word can also describe.
