“And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.”
And there you shall serve gods the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell -- the irony is sharp: those who make gods of wood and stone will be forced to serve them in exile. The litany of sensory deprivation (cannot see, hear, eat, smell) ridicules idols as non-functional. Exile includes degradation to idolatry.
