Translations: unknown
From the root: ΚΑΡΑΣΕΙΜ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word, "ΚΑΡΑΣΕΙΜ", does not appear to be a standard Koine Greek word. Given the context of the provided example usage, which seems to be from a Septuagint passage (2 Kings 23:24), it is highly probable that "ΚΑΡΑΣΕΙΜ" is a misspelling or a garbled form of another word. In the Septuagint, the corresponding word in 2 Kings 23:24 is usually "ΘΑΡΑΦΕΙΝ" (therapheim) or "ΤΕΡΑΦΙΝ" (teraphin), which refers to household idols or images. Therefore, "ΚΑΡΑΣΕΙΜ" is likely a corrupted form of "ΘΑΡΑΦΕΙΝ" or a similar term for idols or cultic objects. It is not clear what this word means on its own.
