detestable things

Rootתעב (t-ʿ-b)
Core Meaningsto abhor, to detest, to loathe, to regard as ritually or morally repugnant
Semantic Rangemorally detestable acts, ritually impure practices, idolatrous objects, socially abhorrent customs, abominations in a covenantal context
Conceptual SignificanceThis term often designates behaviors, objects, or practices that violate covenantal holiness, especially idolatry and illicit sexual or cultic acts. It expresses not merely dislike but covenantal revulsion—actions or things fundamentally opposed to YHWH’s character and Israel’s calling to holiness.
Morphological NotesFeminine plural noun in the absolute state; from תּוֹעֵבָה (tôʿēbah), a noun formed from the root תעב, functioning substantivally to denote objects or acts characterized by abhorrence.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root תעב, "to abhor" or "to detest," and denotes things that provoke revulsion or moral loathing. The form is feminine plural absolute (HNcfpa), which is reflected in the plural rendering "things"; English does not mark grammatical gender for inanimate nouns, but the plural number is preserved.
