RBT Hebrew Literal:
εἴδωλον - phantoms, unsubstantial forms, reflected images
The one who is saying to not commit adultery, you are committing adultery! The one who is loathing the Phantoms, you are temple-robbing!
>εἴδωλον eidōlon

  • Phantom or apparition: Iliad 5.451; Odyssey 4.796; Histories 5.92; Laws 959b — illusions or deceptive appearances often created by gods.
  • Ghosts of the dead: Odyssey 11.476; Proclus Institutio 64 — spirits or shades of the deceased.
  • Insubstantial forms: Agamemnon 839; Ajax 126; Philoctetes 947; Pindar Fr. 131.3 — images or shadows lacking substance.
  • Reflections: Sophist 266b; De Insomniis 464b9 — mirrored images or dream-like visions illustrating perception and illusion.

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Speaking not to commit adultery, committest thou adultery? abhorring images, committest thou sacrilege?
LITV Translation:
The one saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? The one detesting the idols, do you rob temples?
ESV Translation:
You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
