This noun denotes a spider, appearing in contexts that highlight the fragility and futility of the spider's web. In Job 8:14, the trust of the godless is 'a spider's house'—easily swept away. In Isaiah 59:5, the wicked 'weave spider's webs,' producing nothing of value. The BDB notes that the Hebrew word (borrowed into Arabic as a loanword) is related to the Aramaic and later Hebrew terms for spider or tarantula. The multilingual glosses uniformly render 'spider' ('araña,' 'araignée'), preserving the metaphorical force.
