   In Genesis 31:19 and Genesis 31:34, the plural form names items Rachel steals from her father, puts in a camel's saddle, and sits on. In 1 Samuel 19:13 the APB renders the clause with Michal setting the items on a bed, while Judges 17:5 and Judges 18:17 place them among objects made or taken in a house-based shrine; 2 Kings 23:24 and Zechariah 10:2 associate them with idols, diviners, or wicked speech.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally retains “teraphim” in its renderings, including scenes of theft, concealment, manufacture, and removal. The verse is read as a whole, and Ezekiel 21:26 does not visibly represent the listed form in the supplied English verse.
