Gin (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

jin ( מוקשׁ , mōḳēsh , פח , paḥ ): A noose of hair or wire for snaring wild birds alive. There are over half a dozen traps and net devices indicated by different terms in the Bible. The gin was of horse-hair for small birds and wire for larger ones. It is mentioned in Amos 3:5 : "Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is set for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?" Job writing in mental and physical discomfort on the ash heap included all methods mentioned in one outburst: "For he is cast into a net by his own feet. And he walketh upon the toils . A gin shall take him by the heel, And a snare shall lay hold on him, A noose is hid for him in the ground. And a trap for him in the way" ( Job 18:8 ).
