Joshua 23:13

snares The word thus rendered denotes (i) a net, trap-net, especially of a fowler; (ii) a snare such as seizes and holds beasts or men by the feet. Comp. Job 18:9, "the gin shall take him by the heel;" Jeremiah 18:22, "they have … hid snaresfor my feet." The form of this trap-net appears from the passages Amos 3:5, and Psalms 69:22. It was in two parts, which, when set, were spread out upon the ground and slightly fastened with a stick, so that as soon as a bird or beast touched the stick, the parts flew up and enclosed the bird in the net, or caught the foot of the animal.

thorns in your eyes The warnings of Joshua are severer even than those of Moses (Numbers 33:55), "nowe thanne wite зe that the Lord зoure God do hem not awey before зoure face, but to зow thei shulen be into a diche, and greene, and hurtynge of зoure side and a staak in зoure eyen, to the tyme that he doo зou a wey," Wyclif.
