519. Mode of Carrying Idols

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Isaiah 46:7
Listen from:
Isaiah 46:7. They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth.
It is precisely in this way that the Hindus of the present day, according to Ward, carry their idols in procession and set them in the temples. There is an Assyrian marble which has on it, in bas-relief, a representation of a procession, in which four idols are carried on the shoulders of men.
