1) an idol
2) literally: a likeness

Strong’s Greek Lexicon

from G1491; an image (i.e. for worship); by implication, a heathen god, or (plural) the worship of such:—idol.

Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
