Teraphim depicted in the Oedipus Aegyptiacus (Athanasius Kircher, 1652)
Teraphim (Hebrew: תְּרָפִים, romanized: tərāfim) is a word from the Hebrew Bible found only in the plural of uncertain etymology.[1] Despite being plural, teraphim may refer to singular objects. Teraphim is explained in classical rabbinical literature as meaning "disgraceful things",[2] but this is dismissed by modern etymologists. Many Bible translations into English translate it as idols or household god(s); its exact meaning is more specific than this but unknown precisely.
