Word Origin: Derived from the root יָצַק (yatsaq), meaning "to pour out" or "to cast."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is εἴδωλον (eidolon), which refers to an idol or image.

Usage: The term "yetsuqah" refers to objects that are cast or formed from molten metal, often used in the context of idols or images made for worship. It emphasizes the process of pouring and shaping metal into a desired form, typically for religious or decorative purposes.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, the creation of molten images was a common practice. These images were often associated with idol worship, which was prevalent among the surrounding nations. The Israelites were repeatedly warned against creating and worshiping such images, as it was contrary to the worship of Yahweh, who commanded that no graven image should be made (Exodus 20:4). The process of casting metal was a skilled craft, involving the melting of metals like gold, silver, or bronze, and pouring them into molds to create detailed and often ornate figures.
