It is often used in the context of God expressing His displeasure or rejection of something or someone due to sin or disobedience. The term can also describe human emotions of disgust or loathing towards something detestable.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Hebrew context, the concept of purity and holiness was central to the relationship between God and His people. Anything that was considered impure or unholy was to be rejected or abhorred. This cultural understanding is reflected in the use of "gaal," where God, in His holiness, cannot tolerate sin and thus expresses rejection towards it. The term underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and the necessity for His people to remain pure and obedient.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
