SIBI-P1 H8581-01

one being loathed (masculine singular)

Rootתעב (t-ʿ-b)
Core Meaningsloathing, detesting, abhorring, moral revulsion
Semantic Rangeto be detested, to be abhorred, to become morally repugnant, to be regarded as loathsome or abominable
Conceptual SignificanceThis term expresses covenantal and moral revulsion, often describing persons or practices that violate YHWH’s holiness. What is "loathsome" is not merely aesthetically unpleasant but ethically offensive, marking a breach of divine order and communal purity.
Morphological NotesNifal stem of תעב. Occurs primarily as a masculine singular absolute participle (נִתְעָב), with one instance as Nifal perfect 3rd person masculine singular. The Nifal expresses passive or stative result: "to be/become detested."
Rendering RationaleThe root תעב conveys intense moral revulsion or detestation. In the Nifal stem it carries a passive/reflexive sense, "to be loathed" or "to become detested." The predominant form here is a masculine singular Nifal participle, so "one being loathed" preserves both the passive force and the masculine singular grammar; the attested perfect form similarly means "he was loathed."
