Strong's Lexicon shaqats: To detest, to abhor, to make abominable Original Word: שָׁקַץ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: shaqats Pronunciation: shah-KATS Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-kats') Definition: To detest, to abhor, to make abominable Meaning: to be filthy, to loathe, pollute Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "shaqats" is "βδελύσσομαι" (bdelussomai - Strong's Greek 948), which also means to detest or abhor. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaqats" conveys a strong sense of detestation or abhorrence. It is often used in the context of ritual or moral impurity, where something is considered loathsome or abominable. The term is frequently associated with idolatry, unclean animals, and practices that are contrary to the holiness required by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of purity was central to religious life. The Israelites were called to be a holy people, set apart for God. This involved adhering to dietary laws, avoiding idolatry, and maintaining moral purity. The use of "shaqats" reflects the seriousness with which these laws were regarded. Anything that was "shaqats" was not only ritually impure but also morally repugnant, and thus, it was to be avoided by the faithful.
