Key Hebrew terms related to idolatry include פֶּסֶל (pesel, meaning "idol" or "graven image") and תְּרָפִים (teraphim, meaning "household gods" or "idols").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "kateidólos" is used to describe a place or a person that is characterized by the presence or worship of idols. It conveys the idea of being saturated with idolatry, indicating a pervasive and entrenched practice of idol worship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, idolatry was a common practice, with numerous gods and goddesses worshipped in various forms. Temples, altars, and statues dedicated to these deities were widespread. The early Christian community, emerging from a Jewish background that strictly prohibited idolatry, often found itself in conflict with the surrounding culture's idolatrous practices. The term "kateidólos" would have been a strong descriptor of cities or regions heavily engaged in idol worship, such as Athens, which was known for its many idols.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/1497.htm">eidólon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>full of idols<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>full of idols (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2712: κατείδωλος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κατείδωλος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κατείδωλον</span> (<span class="greek2">κατά</span> and <span class="greek2">εἴδωλον</span>; after the analogy of <span class="greek2">καταμπελος</span>, <span class="greek2">καταγομος</span>, <span class="greek2">κατάχρυσος</span>, <span class="greek2">καταδενδρος</span>, etc. (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">κατά</span></span>, III. 3, and cf. <span class="abbreviation">Herm. ad Vig.</span>, p. 638)), <span class="accented">full of idols</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-16.htm">Acts 17:16</a>.
