This topic has not yet undergone editorial review

Terafim

Tools

  • Concordance – Using the concordance to see where "תְּרָפִים" play a role in Tanakh, one sees that the word appears 15 times, one third of which are in the stories of Rachel (Bereshit 31) and Michal (Shemuel I 19). A comparison of the two stories points to further parallels, most notably how both women are entangled in conflict between husband and father, practice deception relating to the use of "תְּרָפִים", perhaps in an effort to save their loved ones.

Articles / Lectures

  • See Rachel's Stealing of the Terafim for various understandings of Rachel's actions, some of which compare her to Michal. For instance, Hoil Moshe suggests that both Rachel and Michal might have believed that terafim had certain powers to help the infertile.
  • In his lecture, <a href="The Gods of Deceit- Rachel, Michal and the Terafim">The Gods of Deceit- Rachel, Michal and the Terafim</a>,  R. Michael Hattin explores the parallels between the stories of Rachel and Michal.
