Usage: The verb קוּץ (quts) is used in the Hebrew Bible to express a strong emotional reaction, often involving feelings of disgust, loathing, or anxiety. It can describe both physical and emotional states of aversion or distress. Context: The Hebrew verb קוּץ (quts) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often conveying a sense of intense emotional response. It is used to describe the feeling of being disgusted or loathing something or someone. This term can also imply a state of anxiety or distress, reflecting a deep-seated emotional turmoil. In Genesis 27:46, Rebekah expresses her disgust with the Hittite women, saying, "I am disgusted with living because of these Hittite women." Here, קוּץ captures her profound aversion and emotional distress over the situation. In Numbers 21:5, the Israelites express their loathing for the manna, saying, "We detest this miserable food!" The use of קוּץ here highlights their intense dissatisfaction and disdain for the provision they received. The term also appears in contexts of divine judgment or displeasure, as seen in Leviticus 20:23, where God warns the Israelites not to follow the practices of the nations He is driving out before them, lest they become loathsome to Him. קוּץ is a powerful term that encapsulates a range of negative emotions, from disgust and loathing to anxiety and distress. It reflects the human experience of encountering situations or entities that provoke a visceral, often overwhelming, emotional response.
