Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is βδέλυγμα (bdelugma), which also means "abomination" or "detestable thing." Usage: The term "sha'aruwrah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote something that is considered a moral or ethical abomination, often associated with actions or events that are shocking and detestable. It conveys a sense of horror and revulsion, typically in the context of sin or idolatry. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "abomination" was closely tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Actions deemed as "sha'aruwrah" were those that violated the holiness and moral standards set by God. Such actions were not only socially unacceptable but also spiritually defiling, often leading to severe consequences for individuals or the community.
