        Glosses: ['to seize', 'to snatch away', 'to take away']

        Comments: In {S:04001301900028} the context as a whole is figurative, but a more or less literal rendering of ‘snatches’ or ‘seizes’ is probably satisfactory.

        Comments: Though in {S:04301002800030} ἁρπάζω would appear to be in a literal context in view of the expression ἐκ τῆς χειρός μου ‘out of my hand,’ nevertheless ἁρπάζω is certainly figurative in meaning and so is χείρ ‘hand.’
