Strong's Lexicon naqat: To be disgusted, to loathe, to feel aversion Original Word: נָקַט Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of loathing or disgust can be related to Greek terms such as "βδελύσσομαι" (bdelussomai - to detest) or "στυγέω" (stygeō - to hate). Usage: The Hebrew verb "naqat" conveys a sense of strong aversion or disgust. It is used to describe a deep-seated feeling of loathing or repulsion, often in a moral or spiritual context. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it underscores a profound emotional response to something considered detestable or abhorrent. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, feelings of disgust or loathing were often associated with moral or ritual impurity. The Hebrew culture, with its emphasis on holiness and purity, would have understood "naqat" as a reaction to something that violated the community's ethical or religious standards. This term reflects the strong emotional and spiritual responses that were part of the covenantal relationship between God and His people. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as qut, q.v.
