Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G948 (βδέλυγμα, bdelugma): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote something detestable or abominable, often in the context of idolatry or moral corruption. • G4360 (προσκόπτω, proskopto): While not a direct equivalent, this term can relate to the idea of stumbling or causing offense, which can be conceptually linked to the abhorrence and pollution associated with שָׁקַץ (shaqats). Usage: The verb שָׁקַץ (shaqats) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of becoming detestable or loathsome, often in the context of ritual impurity or idolatry. It conveys a strong sense of abhorrence and is frequently associated with actions or objects that are considered abominable or unclean. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁקַץ (shaqats) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily in the Pentateuch and prophetic literature. It is often used to describe the Israelites' relationship with idolatry and unclean practices, emphasizing the need for holiness and separation from pagan customs. In Leviticus, the term is frequently employed in the context of dietary laws and ritual purity. For example, in Leviticus 11:11, it is used to describe certain unclean animals: "They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses." This usage underscores the importance of maintaining ritual purity and avoiding defilement through contact with unclean things. The term also appears in the context of idolatry, as seen in Deuteronomy 7:26: "Do not bring a detestable thing into your house, or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. You are to utterly detest and abhor it, for it is set apart for destruction." Here, שָׁקַץ (shaqats) is used to express the loathing that the Israelites must have for idols and idolatrous practices, highlighting the covenantal demand for exclusive worship of Yahweh. Prophets like Isaiah and Ezekiel also use the term to condemn the idolatrous practices of Israel and the surrounding nations, calling the people to repentance and a return to covenant faithfulness. The use of שָׁקַץ (shaqats) in these contexts serves as a powerful reminder of the moral and spiritual pollution that idolatry brings and the necessity of maintaining purity and devotion to God.
