1 | House Hold Idols in the OT? | Gen 31:19 | bowler | 207049 | ||
In looking at several OT stories I see that the people of God had "house hold idols", and I am trying to understand what there were. Here are some other examples. 1 Samuel 19:13 Michal took the household idol and laid it on the bed, and put a quilt of goat's hair at its head, and covered it with clothes. Judges 18:14, 18 - apparently a priest had house hold idols, and graven images, and molten images. In light of Exodus 20:4 - I am trying to understand how this could be? Why did the people of God in the OT have house hold idols? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

Hi, bowler... With the constant exposure to the heathens around them, adopting their practices should not surprise us. This shouldn't surprise us. Superstition is alive and well today. In Him, Doc |

Doc Please forgive me. In my eagerness to ask this pariticular question I once a gain forgot to look everything up. While waiting for an answer I looked up the word and the roots for the words "house hold idols". Perhaps you would be interested in what I found. 8655 Teraphiym - family idol 7495 Raphah - heal, physician So perhaps this was an idol for the family, the house hold for some kind of healing ritual, or practice. Yes you are right superstition is alive and well today. I guess before Moses came along the law had not come in so God said nothing, but I got to wonder why He was silent when about the whole practice in David's time after the law came in? We see Solomon being warned against pagan worship. Just an unworthy son. blessings abound, bowler |
