SIBI-P1 H8441-10
abhorrence-of
| Root | תעב (t-ʿ-b) |
| Core Meanings | to abhor, to detest, to regard as loathsome, moral revulsion |
| Semantic Range | abhorrence, detestable thing, morally loathsome act, idolatrous practice, ritually or ethically repugnant object or behavior |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, תּוֹעֵבָה marks actions, objects, or practices that violate covenantal holiness and provoke divine revulsion—especially idolatry, illicit worship, and grave moral transgressions. It signals not mere dislike but a profound breach of YHWH’s moral order. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state from תּוֹעֵבָה (H8441). The construct form תּוֹעֲבַת links the noun to a following genitive, expressing "abhorrence of" or "detestable thing of." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root תעב, "to abhor" or "to treat as detestable." As a feminine singular construct form (HNcfsc), it denotes "abhorrence of…"—linking the idea of something that evokes moral revulsion to what follows in the construct chain. The rendering preserves both the root sense of detestation and the singular feminine construct grammar. |
