Picture. In two of the three passages in which "picture" is used in the Authorized Version it denotes idolatrous representations, either independent images or more usually stones "portrayed," that is, sculptured in low relief, or engraved and colored. Ezekiel 23:14. Layard, Nin. And Rob. Ii. 306, 308. Moveable pictures, in the modern sense, were doubtless unknown to the Jews. The "pictures of silver" of Proverbs 25:11, were probably well surfaces or cornices with carvings.
