Strong's Lexicon maos: Rejection, loathing, abhorrence Original Word: מָאוֹס Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָאַס (ma'as), meaning "to reject" or "to despise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G94 (bdelugma): Often translated as "abomination," this Greek term carries a similar connotation of something detestable or loathsome. - G1606 (ekluo): Meaning "to be weary" or "to faint," it can imply a sense of rejection or giving up. Usage: The Hebrew word "maos" conveys a strong sense of rejection or loathing. It is often used in the context of something being despised or considered detestable. This term can describe both human attitudes towards objects or actions and divine attitudes towards sin or disobedience. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of purity and holiness was central to religious life. Anything considered "maos" was often associated with impurity or idolatry, which were abhorred by God. The Israelites were called to be a holy people, set apart for God, and thus were to reject anything that was contrary to His commandments and character.
