Strong's Lexicon taab: To abhor, to detest, to loathe Original Word: תַּעָב Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ta`ab Pronunciation: tah-AV Phonetic Spelling: (taw-ab') Definition: to loathe, detest Meaning: To loathe, detest Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G948 (βδελύσσομαι, bdelussomai): To feel a loathing or disgust • G1937 (ἐπιθυμέω, epithumeo): To desire, long for, covet • G1971 (ἐπιποθέω, epipotheo): To long for, desire earnestly • G2729 (κατακυριεύω, katakurieuo): To have dominion over, subdue • G3075 (λυπέω, lupeo): To grieve, distress • G4360 (προσκρούω, proskrouo): To strike against, stumble These Greek terms, while not direct translations, reflect various aspects of emotional and moral responses that can be associated with the concept of loathing or detesting, as seen in the Hebrew תַּעָב (ta'ab). Usage: The verb תַּעָב (ta'ab) is used in the Hebrew Bible to express a strong sense of aversion or disgust. It conveys the idea of loathing or detesting something or someone, often in a moral or religious context. Context: The Hebrew verb תַּעָב (ta'ab) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, primarily to describe God's attitude towards certain behaviors or practices that are considered abominable or detestable. This term is often associated with idolatry, false worship, and other actions that are contrary to the covenantal relationship between God and His people. For example, in Deuteronomy 7:26, the Israelites are commanded not to bring an abominable thing into their house, lest they become devoted to destruction like it. The use of תַּעָב here underscores the severity of engaging with objects or practices that are detestable to God. Similarly, in Proverbs 22:14, the mouth of an adulteress is described as a deep pit, and those who are abhorred (תַּעָב) by the LORD will fall into it, highlighting the moral and spiritual consequences of detestable actions. The term is also used in a broader ethical sense, as seen in Proverbs 24:9, where the schemes of folly are described as sin, and the mocker is detestable (תַּעָב) to mankind. This reflects the societal and communal impact of actions that are loathed both by God and by people.
