Micah 5:13 - Exposition

Graven images, of stone or metal (Le 26:1). Standing images; Septuagint, τὰς στηλάς σου , "thy columns;" Vulgate, statuas tuas These are stone images or pillars dedicated to false gods ( 1 Kings 14:23 ). A pillar to mark a place consecrated to the worship of the Lord was allowed (see Genesis 28:18 ; Genesis 31:13 , Genesis 31:45 ; Isaiah 19:17 ). It was when this custom degenerated into idolatry that it was sternly denounced ( Deuteronomy 16:22 ; Deuteronomy 27:15 , etc.).
