Strong's Lexicon goal: To abhor, to loathe, to reject Original Word: גֹּעַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1609: ἐκβάλλω (ekballo) - to cast out, to drive out - G3404: μισέω (miseo) - to hate, to detest Usage: The Hebrew verb גָּעַל (ga'al) primarily conveys a sense of intense aversion or rejection. It is often used in the context of God expressing His displeasure or rejection of Israel due to their disobedience and idolatry. The term can also describe human emotions of disgust or loathing towards something detestable. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of rejection or loathing was significant in covenant relationships. Israel's covenant with God required faithfulness and obedience, and deviation from this path often led to divine rejection. This term reflects the seriousness of covenantal breaches and the resulting divine response. The cultural understanding of purity and holiness further underscores the gravity of being "rejected" by God, as it implies a separation from His presence and blessings.
