SIBI-P1 H8441-18

a detested thing

Rootתעב (t-ʿ-b)
Core Meaningsto abhor, to detest, to loathe, to find morally repulsive
Semantic RangeAn object or practice regarded as morally repulsive; idolatry; illicit sexual practices; unjust or deceitful acts; ritually or ethically detestable customs; an idol.
Conceptual Significanceתוֹעֵבָה marks actions or objects that violate covenantal holiness and provoke divine revulsion. It often designates behaviors or worship practices fundamentally opposed to YHWH’s character and covenant standards, highlighting the moral and theological boundaries that define Israel’s distinct identity.
Morphological NotesFeminine singular noun, absolute state (HNcfsa). Though morphologically related to an active participle of תעב, it functions substantivally as a noun denoting that which is abhorred.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root תעב, "to abhor" or "to detest," and functions as a feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa). Rendering it "a detested thing" preserves the participial sense of something that is actively regarded with abhorrence while reflecting its singular feminine form.
