Hebrews not a hunting people, yet various devices mentioned for capturing wild animals

(2 Sam. 23:20²⁰And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow: (2 Samuel 23:20); Job 18:9-10⁹The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. ¹⁰The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. (Job 18:9‑10); Prov. 22:5⁵Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. (Proverbs 22:5); Isa. 51:20²⁰Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God. (Isaiah 51:20); Amos 3:5⁵Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? (Amos 3:5)).
