Carving Overlay
Sakinah, is Jeremiah referring to an actual decorated tree in Jeremiah 10:2-4?
Sorry to butt in on a conversation that has long ended…but I think maybe that Jeremiah was explaining the way that the heathens created the gods that they worshipped. You see, the typical method that other nations surrounding the Children of Israel used for making idol gods was by carving them out of wood. Then they would overlay the carving with some type of metal, such as gold, silver- brass. Upon reading verse 5, Jeremiah explains that the newly fashioned gods have to be carried around because they are not real like the true and living God of the Children of Israel whom wasn’t made nor is controlled by by man (see verse 6).
A few years ago, I had nothing but beef with God and traditions. Someone recommended that I should read God’s word with the desire to understand His way, putting aside my own world views. Doing so changed my life and taught me to treat even my enemies right. His word when read with a sincere heart contains wisdom that we don’t possess (verse 12).
I don’t think the passage is referencing a decorated tree; I believe you have it correct in the reference to idolatry. In describing exactly what had to happen, I think Jeremiah actually made the idea of idolatry all the more absurd.
To paraphrase, “They have to go and cut down their god out of the woods, decorate it, fasten it with nails so that it doesn’t fall over or fall apart and then they even have to carry it around because it can’t move!”
