Proverbs 6:5

Context

6:5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a snare, 1 

and like a bird from the trap 2  of the fowler.

1 tn Heb “from the hand.” Most translations supply “of the hunter.” The word “hand” can signify power, control; so the meaning is that of a gazelle freeing itself from a snare or a trap that a hunter set.

2 tc Heb “hand” (so KJV, NAB, NRSV). Some mss and versions have it as “trap,” which may very well represent an interpretation too.
