rwp - Osiris

rwp@Acts:7:41 @{They made a calf} (\emoschopoisan\). First aorist active indicative of \moschopoie\, here only in the N.T. and unknown elsewhere. The LXX (Exodus:32:3|) has \epoise moschon\ from which phrase the word is evidently made. Aaron made the calf, but so did the people (Exodus:32:35|). {The idol} (\ti eidli\)...as the symbol of Osiris... (the sun). They had another sacred bull Mnevis at Leontopolis. \Eidlon\ (from \eidos\, form or figure) is the image or likeness of anything. The heathen worship the god through the image or idol. {Rejoiced} (\euphrainonto\). Imperfect, middle, kept on rejoicing (Exodus:32:6,18|) or making merry.
