Berean Strong's Lexicon shiqquts: Abomination, detestable thing Original Word: שִׁקּוּץ Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁקַץ (shaqats), meaning "to detest" or "to abhor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G946 (bdelugma): Often used in the Septuagint and New Testament to translate "shiqquts," particularly in the context of idolatry and abominations. Usage: The term "shiqquts" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote something that is detestable or abominable, often in the context of idolatry or practices that are abhorrent to God. It is frequently associated with pagan idols and practices that defile the holiness of God's people and land. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the Israelites were surrounded by nations that practiced idolatry and engaged in rituals that were considered abominable by the standards of the Mosaic Law. The use of "shiqquts" reflects the strong aversion and prohibition against such practices, emphasizing the need for Israel to remain distinct and holy, set apart for the worship of Yahweh alone.
