In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It means to deceive or trick someone with smooth words. The Assyrian officer warns the people that Hezekiah is leading them astray. Interpretation: In the Assyrian siege the officer claims the people's trust in God is a trick. Tradition reads Hezekiah's trust as faith, and the Assyrian as an example of a boaster who mocks God and falls. In the primary lessons: in tales, a person is charmed or tricked; or someone tells stories to pass the night
