Deuteronomy 16:22

Deuteronomy 16:22 -

Any image ; any pillar , etc . The Hebrew word ( מַצֵבָה , mazzebah ) denotes generally any pillar or stone that is set up, whether as a memorial ( Genesis 28:18 ), or as a sign ( Exodus 24:4 ; Isaiah 19:19 ), or for purposes of utility or ornament ( Jeremiah 43:13 ). Here, as in other passages, it is a pillar or statue set up as an object of worship (cf. 2 Kings 3:2 ; 2 Kings 10:26 ; Hosea 10:1 ; Micah 5:12 ).
