SERUG, or Sarug, Son of Reu, and Father Gen. xi. 20, 21, 22. 1 Chron. i. 26.of Nahor.
‘Tis pretended that it was Serug, who was the first after the Deluge, that began to worship Clem. Alex. Euseb. Epiphan. Theodor.the Creatures. In his Time Men form’d a Multitude of Idols, by which the Devil perform’d many Prodigies. He thought he might adore the Images of Men, who had distinguish’d themselves by their Vertues, and by the good Deeds they had perform’d for Mankind. This introduced the Worship of the Dead, and by natural Consequence, all sorts of of Idolatry and Polytheism.
