The Teraphim
"The teraphim are built according to the forms of
men and this form is made [in such a way as] to receive the power of the
superior [beings]." (from Idel, "Golem", from a 12th century discussion
of biblical teraphim of Lavan.
Teraphim were household gods or domestic idols of the ancient cultures.
These small figures were in the form of men or gods. They were used for worship in the home.
The teraphim brought prosperity and good luck, though the practice was considered heathen.
Teraphim were called the
"givers of prosperity," “guardians of comforts," "nourishers" by
the Lares and Penates of the early Hebrews.
Some Teraphim were small
and portable. They could be stowed away in the pack saddle of a camel,
similar to the one the Rachel took. Others were life size. Some may have
represented family members. Teraphim may be similar to golem.
