Strong's Lexicon taab: To abhor, to detest, to loathe Original Word: תָּאַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G948 (bdelugma): An abomination, something detestable - G3404 (miseo): To hate, to detest Usage: The Hebrew verb "taab" conveys a strong sense of disgust or repulsion. It is often used in the context of moral or ritual impurity, where something is considered detestable or abominable. This term is frequently employed in the Old Testament to describe God's attitude towards idolatry, sinful practices, and unclean things. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of purity and impurity was central to religious life. The Israelites were called to be a holy people, set apart for God, and were given laws to distinguish between clean and unclean, holy and profane. The use of "taab" reflects the seriousness with which God viewed violations of His covenant and the importance of maintaining holiness. Idolatry, in particular, was seen as a grave offense, as it represented a turning away from the one true God to worship false deities.
