Embrace
From Isbe 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; 33:4; 48:10; 2 Kings 4:16; Song of Solomon 2:6; 8:3 compare Acts 20:10), and
(2) to have sexual intercourse (Proverbs 4:8; 5:20; Ecclesiastes 3:5). It seems to have acquired this technical sense in later Jewish usage.
