Divination in the Ancient Near East: The Ephod and Teraphim

This week we continue our look at divination in the Ancient Near East with a closer look at the ephod and teraphim. These objects were associated with casting lots, divination, and even cult statuary and idols. How are these words used? What do they refer to? Is the ephod just sacerdotal garb the Israelite priests wore or can it be something else? Are teraphim images of dead ancestors or cult idols of gods? Let's dig in. #Bible #Archaeology #biblicalarchaeology #divination #magic #ephod #theephod #teraphim #householdgods #idols #israelitepriests #ancestorworship If you are interested in learning more about this topic we suggest you start here: Frederick Cryer, Divination in Ancient Israel and it’s Near Eastern Environment: A Socio-Historical Investigation.
