Net:
in use among the Hebrews for fishing, hunting, and fowling. The fishing-net was probably constructed after the form of that used by the Egyptians (Isa 19:8). There were three kinds of nets. (1.) The drag-net or hauling-net (Gr. sagene), of great size, and requiring many men to work it. It was usually let down from the fishing-boat, and then drawn to the shore or into the boat, as circumstances might require (Mat 13:47,48). (2.) The hand-net or casting-net (Gr. amphiblestron), which was thrown from a rock or a boat at any fish that might be seen (Mat 4:18; Mar 1:16). It was called by the Latins funda. It was of circular form, "like the top of a tent." (3.) The bag-net (Gr. diktyon), used for enclosing fish in deep water (Luk 5:4-9).
The fowling-nets were (1) the trap, consisting of a net spread over a frame, and supported by a stick in such a way that it fell with the slightest touch (Amo 3:5, "gin; Psa 69:22; Job 18:9; Ecc 9:12). (2) The snare, consisting of a cord to catch birds by the leg (Job 18:10; Psa 18:5; 116:3; 140:5). (3.) The decoy, a cage filled with birds as decoys (Jer 5:26,27). Hunting-nets were much in use among the Hebrews.
