Teraphim

Teraphim were small idols or statues that people in ancient times believed could bring them good fortune or help them in their daily lives. They were usually made of metal or clay and were kept in people's homes.

Imagine having a little statue that looks like a person or an animal that you think can bring you good luck or protect you from harm. You might keep it in a special place in your room and pray or talk to it, asking for help or guidance.

In ancient times, people believed that these teraphim had special powers, like being able to hear their prayers and grant their wishes. Some people even thought that the teraphim could speak to them and give them advice.

Today, many people don't believe in the power of teraphim or other idols, but they are still an interesting part of ancient history and culture.
