1. teraphim (household idols) — Household gods or divinatory figurines used in domestic cult practice throughout the ancient Near East; the term is consistently transliterated rather than translated across languages (English 'teraphim,' Spanish 'terafines/terafim,' Arabic التَّرَافِيمَ, Korean 드라빔), though some translations render it contextually as 'idols' (Spanish ídolos) or 'household images' (Swahili sanamu-za-nyumbani, Hindi गृहदेवताओं 'household deities'). The three clusters differ only in grammatical context: with the definite article (S145878, S145880), with the conjunction waw (S145879), reflecting no semantic distinction whatsoever. 15×
