Key Findings: - Deuteronomy 5:9 is virtually identical (0.915 hybrid score). - Numbers 14:18 and Exodus 34:7 are strong parallels (0.623, 0.622) -- both restate the "visiting iniquity" formula. - Ezekiel 18:20 (0.461) is the key "correction" passage -- same terms (father, iniquity) but reversing the principle. - Joshua 24:19 connects jealousy with service and iniquity.

Key Findings: - NT parallels for v.5 are moderate; no single verse strongly echoes the "visiting iniquity" formula. - ROM 7:25 (iniquity, serve) and GAL 1:4 (age, father, iniquity) are the most thematically relevant. - The individual accountability principle from Ezek 18 is more developed in NT treatment.

Key Findings: - Exodus 20:23 (0.415) links directly -- "Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold." - Daniel 5:23 (0.396) -- "gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know." - Deuteronomy 7:25 (0.387) -- "The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them." - Habakkuk 2:19 (0.365) -- "Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise." - Leviticus 26:1 (0.372) -- forbidden images of stone.

Key Finding: 1CO 11:7 ("he is the image and glory of God") connects with Paul's argument that since we are God's offspring, God should not be thought of as a crafted image. 1PE 1:18 ("not with corruptible things, as silver and gold") echoes the material-vs-divine contrast.

Key Findings: - Genesis 1:26 (0.418) is the strongest OT parallel -- "image, likeness" language. Paul's argument is that humanity exchanged God's glory for creature-likeness, inverting the creation order where man was made in God's image. - Isaiah 40:18 (0.305) -- "To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?" -- directly challenges image-making. - Habakkuk 2:18 (0.289) -- image-making folly. - Psalm 96:5 (0.284) and 1 Chr 16:26 (0.284) -- "gods of the nations are idols."

Key Findings: - 2CO 3:18 (0.404) -- "changed into the same image from glory to glory" -- the POSITIVE counterpart. While Rom 1:23 describes mankind degrading God's glory into creature-images, 2 Cor 3:18 describes believers being transformed into Christ's image from glory to glory. - 2CO 4:4 (0.322) -- "Christ, who is the image of God" -- the true image. - 1TI 1:17 (0.321) -- "unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible" -- God's immortality and invisibility make image-making inappropriate. - JAS 3:9 (0.314) -- "men, which are made after the similitude [likeness] of God" -- echoes the image language.
