19 Now Laʹban had gone to shear his sheep. Meantime Rachel stole the teraphim*+ that belonged to her father.

24 And also the spirit mediums+ and the professional foretellers+ of events and the teraphim*+ and the dungy idols+ and all the disgusting+ things that had appeared in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem Jo·siʹah cleared out, in order that he might actually carry out the words of the law+ that were written in the book+ that Hil·kiʹah the priest had found at the house of Jehovah.+

2 For the teraphim+ themselves have spoken what is uncanny;* and the practicers of divination, for their part, have visioned falsehood,+ and valueless dreams are what they keep speaking, and in vain they try to comfort.+ That is why they will certainly depart like a flock;+ they will become afflicted, because there is no shepherd.+
