    I could see that as an interpretation for sure. I’m not well versed enough in Hebrew to understand the original text and it’s context. But I think one could argue that “seize” here could be seen as persuing her romantically.

    Now please don’t take this as me defending any of this. I’m just trying to show how many different ways this may be interpreted which leads to how people take the Bible out of context or to extremes.
