By the way, I'm running Google searches for these words you're throwing out, and from what I'm finding, Taphaz means to capture, take hold, seize, or arrest.

Not "seduce." Capture. Seize.

The original meaning of taphaz is “manipulate”. It is not the same word as khazaq, which indicates use of physical strength and violence.

I am also not “throwing these words out”; these are the words that appear in the Hebrew version of the scriptures in question.
