1 Strong's Number: g3803 Greek: pagis

Snare:

"a trap, a snare" (akin to pegnumi, "to fix," and pagideuo, "to ensnare," which see), is used metaphorically of

(a) the allurements to evil by which the Devil "ensnares" one, 1Ti 3:7; 2Ti 2:26;

(b) seductions to evil, which "ensnare" those who "desire to be rich," 1Ti 6:9;

(c) the evil brought by Israel upon themselves by which the special privileges Divinely granted them and centering in Christ, became a "snare" to them, their rejection of Christ and the Gospel being the retributive effect of their apostasy, Rom 11:9;

(d) of the sudden judgments of God to come upon those whose hearts are "overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life," Luk 21:34 (ver. 35 in AV).

2 Strong's Number: g1029 Greek: brochos

Snare:

"a noose, slipknot, halter," is used metaphorically in 1Cr 7:35, "a snare" (RV, marg., "constraint," "noose"). In the Sept., Pro 6:5; 7:21; 22:25.
