An ensnaring trap set against someone · dominant
In Obadiah 1:7, the masculine singular noun occurs in the clause describing a trap set under the addressed person, after covenant partners and men of peace have deceived and overcome him. The APB renders the clause, “those who eat your bread have set a net under you.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Obadiah 1:7, the APB presents the clause as “have set a net under you.” This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical equation.
