1 | Strong's Number: g293 | Greek: amphiblestron |
Net:
lit., "something thrown around" (amphi, "around," ballo, "to throw"), denotes "a casting net," a somewhat small "net," cast over the shoulder, spreading out in a circle and made to sink by weights, Mat 4:18 (in some mss. in Mar 1:16: the best have the verb amphiballo alone).
2 | Strong's Number: g1350 | Greek: diktuon |
Net:
a general term for a "net" (from an old verb diko, "to cast:" akin to diskos, "a quoit"), occurs in Mat 4:20, 21; Mar 1:18, 19; Luk 5:2, 4-6; Jhn 21:6, 8, 11 (twice). In the Sept. it was used for a "net" for catching birds, Pro 1:17, in other ways, e.g., figuratively of a snare, Job 18:8; Pro 29:5.
3 | Strong's Number: g4522 | Greek: sagene |
Net:
denotes "a drag-net a seine;" two modes were employed with this, either by its being let down into the water and drawn together in a narrowing circle, and then into the boat, or as a semicircle drawn to the shore, Mat 13:47, where Nos. 1 and 2 would not have suited so well. The Greek historian Herodotus used the corresponding verb sageneuo of a device by which the Persians are said to have cleared a conquered island of its inhabitants.
