“Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.”
So you must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps he will lighten his hand off you and your gods and your land—the *temunot* (images) are tokens of repentance, material forms of contrition. *Tatnu kavod le-Elohei Yisra'el* (give glory to the God of Israel) is an act of recognition and submission; the *kavod* (glory, honor) belongs to the LORD, not to Dagon.
