Genesis 31:19

images. Heb. teraphim. 30,32; 35:2; Jos 24:2; Jud 17:4,5; 18:14-24,31; 1Sa 19:13; Eze 21:21 Ho 3:4 These might have been images devoted to superstitious or idolatrous purposes, as they are termed gods by Laban, in ver. 30. The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render it, {tzalmanaya,} "images;" the LXX. and Theodoret, [eidolon 1497|,] "idols;" Aquilla, [morphomata,] "figures;" and the Persian, {asterlabha,} "astrolabes."
