mas.se.khah denotes a made cult image, especially in accounts of calves, other gods, and objects condemned or destroyed.

The identifiable uses refer to a made cult object: a calf in Exodus 32:4 and Exodus 32:8, images made for other gods in 1 Kings 14:9, and objects rejected, destroyed, or forbidden in passages such as Numbers 33:52 and Nahum 1:14. The supplied translation varies in wording; Isaiah 30:1 does not isolate the term's contribution clearly enough to establish a separate use.

1. Made cult image · dominant

   The singular absolute form occurs where a calf is made and treated as an object of worship in Exodus 32:4 and Exodus 32:8. Plural forms occur among images made for Baals or removed in reform, as the APB renders the clauses in 2 Chronicles 28:2 and 2 Chronicles 34:4; in Numbers 33:52, the plural construct form stands among objects commanded to be destroyed.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the identifiable image clauses, the APB uses expressions such as “molten calf,” “cast image,” “metal images,” and “cast images.” In Judges 17:3 and Judges 17:4 it renders the paired object as “a liquid,”, so that wording does not establish a distinct sense.
