Spider:
spi'-der
(1) ‘akkabhish; compare Arabic ‘ankabut, English Versions of the Bible "spider"; Septuagint arachne (Job 8:14; Isa 59:5);
(2) semamith, "lizard," the King James Version "spider"; Septuagint kalabotes (Pr 30:28)): Semamith of Pr 30:28 is probably the gecko, a kind of lizard, as Septuagint and the Revised Version (British and American) have it. See LIZARD.
In Job 8:14 the spider's web is an emblem of frailty: "Whose confidence shall break in sunder, and whose trust is a spider's web." Frailty or futility seems to be indicated also in Isa 59:5,6: "They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web:.... Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works" "Spider's web" is in Job 8:14 both ‘akkabhish, "spider's house," while in Isa 59:5 it is qure ‘akkabhish, qur, according to BDB, being "thread" or "film."
