Topical Lexicon Overview of UsageStrong’s 6973 occurs nine times, gathering three principal ideas: (1) personal weariness or disgust, (2) fearful abhorrence of another people, and (3) divine revulsion toward sin. These shades of meaning trace an emotional gradient from inner fatigue to outright loathing, whether in human hearts or in God’s response to covenant violation. Personal Weariness and Inner Revulsion 1. Genesis 27:46. Rebekah laments, “I am weary of my life because of these Hittite women.” The term expresses an exhaustion so deep that life itself feels burdensome. The narrative exposes the corrosive effect ungodly alliances can have within a covenant household. National Dread and Political Hostility 1. Exodus 1:12. Pharaoh’s subjects “came to dread the Israelites.” What began as economic fear escalated into hatred, propelling the oppression that set the stage for the Exodus. Divine Abhorrence of Sin Leviticus 20:23 records the Lord’s verdict on the practices of Canaan: “Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.” The term underscores God’s moral purity; His covenant people must avoid the defiling customs that brought His loathing upon the nations they were to dispossess. Historical and Theological Insights • In patriarchal times (Genesis 27), family stress over intermarriage foreshadows later national struggles with syncretism. Ministry Significance 1. Guarding the Heart. Personal weariness can morph into spiritual disgust if left unchecked. Regular gratitude reorients the soul (Philippians 4:6–7).
