Soph. p. 54, 4 Borries [1911]; X., Mem. 3, 11, 13) gener. someth. that causes revulsion or extreme disgust, a ‘loathsome, detestable thing’, in our lit. in ref. to what is detested by God.① someth. disgusting that arouses wrath, loathsome thing B 2:5 (Is 1:13) =‘I loathe incense’. β. ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ detestable in the sight of God (cp. Pr 11:1) Lk 16:15.—As in the OT (e.g. Dt 29:16; 3 Km 11:6, 33; 4 Km 23:13; 2 Ch 28:3) of everything connected w. polytheistic cult: (w. ἀκάθαρτα; cp.
