It is often used to describe a strong emotional reaction of aversion or weariness towards something or someone. This term can also imply a sense of impatience or frustration, often leading to a desire to distance oneself from the source of irritation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, emotions such as disgust and loathing were often expressed in vivid terms. The Hebrew Bible reflects a culture where emotional states were openly acknowledged and described. The verb "quts" captures the intensity of feelings that arise when individuals or groups encounter situations or behaviors that are intolerable or repugnant. This term is used in various contexts, from personal relationships to national experiences, reflecting the deep emotional responses of the people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to feel a loathing, abhorrence, or sickening dread<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>abhorred (2), dread (3), loathe (2), terrorize (1), tired (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
