Genesis 31:19
images Heb. teraphim, Gen 31:30, Gen 31:32, Gen 35:2; Josh 24:2; Judg 17:4-5, Judg 18:14-24, Judg 18:31; 1Sam 19:13; Ezek 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 G1497, "idols;" Aquilla, μορφωματα, "figures;" and the Persian, asterlabha, "astrolabes."
