Heb. teraphim. Gen 31:30,32; Gen 35:2; Jos 24:2; Jdg 17:4,5; Jdg 18:14-24,31; 1Sa 19:13; Eze 21:21; Hsa 3:4; 'idols;' Aquilla, [morphomata] 'figures;' and the Persian, {asterlabha,} 'astrolabes.' These might have been images devoted to superstitious or idolatrous purposes, as they are termed gods by Laban, in Gen 31:30. The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render it, {tzalmanaya,} 'images;' the LXX. and Theodoret, 'idols;' Aquilla, [morphomata] 'figures;' and the Persian, {asterlabha,} 'astrolabes.' |
