Teraphim \Ter"a*phim\, n. pl. [Heb. ter[=a]ph[imac]m.]
Images connected with the magical rites used by those
Israelites who added corrupt practices to the patriarchal
religion. Teraphim were consulted by the Israelites for
oracular answers. --Dr. W. Smith (Bib. Dict.).
[1913 Webster]

Teraphim
givers of prosperity, idols in human shape, large or small,
analogous to the images of ancestors which were revered by the
Romans. In order to deceive the guards sent by Saul to seize
David, Michal his wife prepared one of the household teraphim,
putting on it the goat's-hair cap worn by sleepers and invalids,
and laid it in a bed, covering it with a mantle. She pointed it
out to the soldiers, and alleged that David was confined to his
bed by a sudden illness (1 Sam. 19:13-16). Thus she gained time
for David's escape. It seems strange to read of teraphim, images
of ancestors, preserved for superstitious purposes, being in the
house of David. Probably they had been stealthily brought by
Michal from her father's house. "Perhaps," says Bishop
Wordsworth, "Saul, forsaken by God and possessed by the evil
spirit, had resorted to teraphim (as he afterwards resorted to
witchcraft); and God overruled evil for good, and made his very
teraphim (by the hand of his own daughter) to be an instrument
for David's escape.", Deane's David, p. 32. Josiah attempted to
suppress this form of idolatry (2 Kings 23:24). The ephod and
teraphim are mentioned together in Hos. 3:4. It has been
supposed by some (Cheyne's Hosea) that the "ephod" here
mentioned, and also in Judg. 8:24-27, was not the part of the
sacerdotal dress so called (Ex. 28:6-14), but an image of
Jehovah overlaid with gold or silver (comp. Judg. 17, 18; 1 Sam.
21:9; 23:6, 9; 30:7, 8), and is thus associated with the
teraphim. (See {THUMMIM}.)

  • What are the teraphim (household gods) Rachel stole from Laban?
    4 Teraphim: more than mere ‘idols’ The most that can be said with certainty is that teraphim were cultic objects, distinguished in Hebrew vocabulary from carved and molded idols, of significant value and meaning in Israelite religion and lore They were probably made in human form to represent a household god or deceased ancestors
  • Why did Rachel steal her fathers idols? (Genesis 31:19)
    Agreeing with @Hold to the Rod that the teraphim represented the family's ancestors (or local deities) I interpret Rachel's action as a continuation of a basic theme in Genesis: the younger child obtaining the blessing of the ancestors by whatever means Jacob, the younger son, obtained the blessing of his father and his ancestors through

  • Why did David take Goliaths head to Jerusalem?
    Further, I believe it is a reasonable hypothesis that although David did not use Goliath's head as an object of worship or as a talisman, the word "teraphim" was used in 1 Sam 19:13 because it fit - the preserved head would have been similar to household-idol type teraphim mentioned elsewhere in the Biblical text
  • Who wore the ephod in 1 Samuel 30:7?
    Hope this helps The Ephod was probably decorated with images of some sort similar to the teraphim which was also used for oracular purposes and was a kind of image (see also above proof from Hosea 3:4), this would explain what caused the Israelites to worship the Ephod that was erected by Gideon in Judges end of chapter 8
