Subject: House Hold Idols in the OT? |
Bible Note: 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 |
