Primitive Graven Image was created in 2006.
I believe you may mean "graven" image. A graven image would refer to a carved or crafted idol, an object that a person would bow down and worship. Where a very few people might worship the flag, the majority of people would not. I don't think many people would refer to the flag of any nation as a graven image.
The word graven means to cut or to shape. (Nowadays, we say "engraved".) The Lord tells us not to make any images of gods to worship. Even an image of Christ should not be worshiped. The image may give us a point of focus but only in spirit may we give true worship.
There is no biblical Hebrew word for "graven."If you are talking about the commandment regarding "graven images," this phrase is an old-fashioned term for sculpture. The Hebrew word פסל (pesel) in that commandment means "sculpture" but many Christian Bible still translate it as graven image.
Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image..." IDOLS are referred to as graven images. They are physical representations or "images" of false gods.
The ones who walked with the Most High worshiped no graven image created by man, and knew He is the one true Creator who brought them forth from Egypt and could take them out of the Holy land with the words of His mouth.
That thou shall have no other God but me. You shall not make yourself a graven image,. For I thy God am a jealous god.
Any such picture would be regarded as a form of idolatry. Thou shalt not worship a graven image.
The Israelites were not to make graven images for themselves, under their own initiative. This especially applied in relation to making images as part of heathen idolatry, since there was for Israel to be only one true God. The snake on the pole did apparently later become an illegitimate object of veneration and was destroyed as such by good King Hezekiah. In the context it was a symbol of faith in the one true God. Incidentally, the Israelites were merely to 'look and live'. They did not actually have to touch the snake on the pole, as in some cases they may have been too far away to reach it in time or already close to death from a bite. The command to make graven images was also a permanent prohibition (even still applying today) whereas the snake on the pole was a temporary concession as a test of faith. Quite possibly some would not have believed that God meant what He said about the snake, not bothered to look in faith and so perished.
It was a wooden snake.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
The image of the word PEN in front of a plane mirror will appear as a reversed image of the word PEN. So, if you write PEN in front of a plane mirror, the reflection will show NEP.
