SIBI-P1 `H3920-11`

you have been ensnared

Root	לכד (l-k-d)
Core Meanings	to catch, capture, seize, ensnare, take possession
Semantic Range	to be captured in battle, to be caught in a trap, to be seized or taken, to be overtaken, figuratively to be bound or entangled.
Conceptual Significance	Often used of military defeat or divine judgment, the root conveys the vulnerability of one overtaken or trapped—whether by enemies, circumstances, or the consequences of one’s actions—highlighting themes of judgment, reversal of fortune, and loss of freedom in the biblical narrative.
Morphological Notes	Niphal (passive/reflexive) stem, perfect (completed action), 2nd person masculine singular from לָכַד.
Rendering Rationale	The verb is Niphal perfect, second masculine singular, indicating a completed passive action: "you (masculine singular) have been caught/captured." "Ensnared" preserves the root imagery of being caught in a trap while accurately reflecting the passive stem and singular masculine address.
