Embrace [1]
em -brās ´: The word has two distinct meanings in the Old Testament: (1) to clasp and hold fondly in the arms, pointing to a common custom ( Genesis 29:13; Genesis 33:4; Genesis 48:10; 2 Kings 4:16; Song of Solomon 2:6; Song of Solomon 8:3; compare Acts 20:10 ), and (2) to have sexual intercourse ( Proverbs 4:8; Proverbs 5:20; Ecclesiastes 3:5 ). It seems to have acquired this technical sense in later Jewish usage.
