Embrace em-bras': 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.
