Note 22 — The Second Book.
Reading edition
The manner how the Teraphim were made is fondly conceited thus among the Rabbies. They killed a man that was a first born son, and wrung off his head, and seasoned it with salt and spices, and wrote upon a plate of gold the name of an uncleane spirit, and put it under the head upon a wall, and lighted candles before it and worshipped it.
Godwyn’s Moses and Aaron.
In Rabbi Eleazar it is said to be the head of a child.
