# H7639: שָׂבָךְ (savakh) — "Net" The Hebrew word *savakh* refers to a net, appearing sixteen times throughout the biblical text. Based on its frequency and consistent definition across occurrences, this term denotes a practical tool with both literal and figurative applications in ancient Israelite life and thought. The word's presence across multiple biblical books suggests it held common cultural relevance to the original audience. The sixteen occurrences indicate that nets functioned as an important metaphor in biblical literature, likely because they were familiar objects in daily experience. The straightforward definition—simply "net"—suggests the term maintained a relatively stable meaning without significant semantic variation across different contexts. This consistency points to a word with clear, recognizable reference rather than one requiring interpretive nuance or multiple distinct definitions. The modest frequency of *savakh* in the biblical corpus, though present enough to indicate cultural importance, suggests nets occupied a notable but not dominant role in biblical vocabulary or theological discourse. As a concrete noun with a practical referent, it would have been immediately understood by Hebrew speakers and readers, making it suitable for both literal description and metaphorical application in various literary contexts.
