A noun denoting a fowler or bird-catcher, one who sets traps and snares for birds. The word appears three times, always with ominous connotations. Psalm 91:3 promises deliverance from 'the snare of the fowler' (in a psalm of divine protection). Proverbs 6:5 urges escape 'from the hand of the fowler' like a bird fleeing. Jeremiah 5:26 uses it in a simile describing wicked men who crouch like fowlers setting traps—but their trap catches humans, not birds. The fowler becomes a powerful biblical metaphor for danger, deception, and those who prey on the vulnerable.
