The semantics of words in sciences always helps us better understand the content، method of reasoning، and expression of the subjects within a science. In fact، semantics is the study and examination of meanings in languages. In general، the study of the relationship between a word and its meaning is called semantics. In the Quran، as in other books and sciences، words are used whose meanings can vary when searching through multiple verses. However، understanding the meanings of Quranic words helps us better comprehend the verses and their semantic relationships with each other. One such word is "Ja'l (جعل)". In this paper، we aim to explore the different meanings of the word "Ja'l" through research and examination، using a descriptive-foundational method. Although "Ja'l" has various meanings in different sciences، it appears that in the Quran، aside from its legal meaning of fraud، deceit، and trickery، it is also used in other meanings such as ontological، legal، and some other contexts. Therefore، explaining the uses of "Ja'l" in its ontological and legal meanings، as well as its effects in ontological and legal matters، constitutes one of the innovations of this paper. Consequently، the aim of this paper is to address the question of what the various meanings of "Ja'l" are according to the related verses and how they are explained، analyzed، and compared
