images: Heb. teraphim, Gen 31:30, Gen 31:32, Gen 35:2; Jos 24:2; Jdg 17:4-5, Jdg 18:14-24, Jdg 18:31; 1Sa 19:13; Eze 21:21; Hos 3:4; 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, ειδολον [Strong's G1497], "idols;" Aquilla, μορφωματα, "figures;" and the Persian, asterlabha, "astrolabes."
