ArchivesQuestion about Rebecca...
It says in the database that Rebecca means "snare." Does that mean snare drum, or snare trap?
Thanks,
Mel
My Verses: Acts 12:1-11, 1st Corinthians 9:24-27
There's no conversation,
words without remorse.
And this television drowns the only source.
Wake from these dreams of you in my arms.
Go to the staircase where you hold my heart.
This place, these walls mean everything to me.
Thanks,

That would be snare as in "trap."
It probably should be pointed out that "snare" is only one possibility for the original meaning of the Hebrew word. Rebecca or Rivkah is one of those names that is so ancient that even experts disagree on the meaning. Another common interpretation is "yoke", as in a yoke for oxen. We may never be completely sure what the derivation of the name was. :)
