Near synonyms 2 words

מַכְמָר makmâr · H4364 · net: מַכְמָר (makmâr, H4364) "net" is a straightforward trapping device; שְׂבָכָה (sᵉbâkâh, H7639) "checker, lattice, network, snare, wreath(-enwork)" is polysemous, covering both decorative architectural features (lattice, wreath-enwork) and trapping devices (network, snare). The two lexemes genuinely overlap in the trapping/net sense, making them true near-synonyms in that semantic space.
רֶשֶׁת resheth · H7568 · net, mesh(work): 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).

In the other Testament 1 word

δίκτυον díktyon · G1350 · net, fishnet, casting-net: Hebrew שְׂבָכָה denotes various netted/latticed structures including decorative architectural elements (temple pillars), fish-catching implements, and metaphorical snares, while Greek δίκτυον specifically denotes a fishing net (seine), representing one concrete application of the broader Hebrew semantic range attested in contexts where שְׂבָכָה refers to fishing apparatus.

Semantic domains 2 entries

Constructions001003002: 1 Kings 7:17-42 repeatedly describes "lattices of latticework" and "wreaths of chainwork" adorning the temple pillars' capitals, directly attesting the constructed latticework this word denotes.
Traps001003001001018: This word's gloss also covers "snare," a sense the sampled citations (all describing the temple's architectural latticework) do not themselves directly illustrate.
