Deuteronomy 27:15

Context
27:15 ‘Cursed is the one 1  who makes a carved or metal image – something abhorrent 2  to the Lord, the work of the craftsman 3  – and sets it up in a secret place.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’ 4 

1 tn Heb “man,” but in a generic sense here.

2 tn The Hebrew term translated here “abhorrent” (תּוֹעֵבָה, toevah) speaks of attitudes and/or behaviors so vile as to be reprehensible to a holy God. See note on the word “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25.

3 tn Heb “craftsman’s hands.”

4 tn Or “So be it!” The term is an affirmation expressing agreement with the words of the Levites.
