Parashas Bechukosai · tochacha · Passuk 30 · Unit 2
Torah Temimah cites the Toras Kohanim narrative of Eliyahu and the starving child who clung to his idol.
English: During the destruction Eliyahu found a child who refused the Shema, drew his idol from his bosom, and died upon it — fulfilling “I will cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols.”
Narrative / fulfillment derasha.
The verse’s image is not abstract: attachment to idolatry reached the point that a child died embracing his idol rather than recite the Shema.
