Usage: The term סֶמֶל is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote an image or likeness, often in the context of idols or representations that are forbidden in the worship of Yahweh. Context: The Hebrew word סֶמֶל (semeḷ) appears in the context of prohibitions against idolatry, emphasizing the importance of worshiping God without the use of physical representations. This term is found in passages that warn against the creation and worship of images that attempt to depict the divine or other deities. The use of סֶמֶל underscores the biblical theme of God's transcendence and the prohibition of idolatry, which is a recurring issue in the history of Israel as depicted in the Old Testament.
