19:4Do not turn to idols,2 and you must not make for yourselves gods of cast metal. I am the Lord your God.
Footnotes
- 2 Regarding the difficult etymology and meaning of the term for “idols” (אֱלִילִים, ’elilim), see B. A. Levine, Leviticus (), ; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (), ; N. H. Snaith, Leviticus and Numbers (NBC), 89; and Judith M. Hadley, 1:. It appears to be a diminutive play on words with אֵל (’el, “god; God”) and, perhaps at the same time, recalls a common Semitic word for “worthless; weak; powerless; nothingness.” Snaith suggests a rendering of “worthless godlings.”
