1. Abomination / detestable thing — Something utterly detestable and abhorrent, especially in a religious or cultic context, referring to idolatrous objects, practices, or moral corruption that provokes divine revulsion. Uniformly rendered across languages: Spanish 'abominación/abominaciones,' Hindi 'घृणा/घृणित' (revulsion/detestable), Arabic 'رِجْسَة/رَجاسات' (abomination/abominations), Korean '가증한 것' (detestable thing), Swahili 'chukizo/machukizo' (object of disgust). The singular and plural genitive forms represent grammatical inflection of a single semantic concept — the thing that causes religious abhorrence. Used both for specific idolatrous acts (Rev 17:4-5) and general moral abomination (Luke 16:15). 6×
