Definition: The word "simaphnet" is a biblical term used to refer to an idol or false god, symbolizing Satan (which is often misunderstood as a false god). In the Hebrew Bible, it was interpreted to mean "the image or likeness of any other creature." The term was widely used by Jews during times of persecution. For example, in 1 Kings 24:5-6, King Solomon wanted his people to worship only God and not an idol, but they refused, leading to the exile of many Jews.
