It conveys a sense of horror and revulsion, typically in the context of sin or idolatry.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "abomination" was closely tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Actions deemed as "sha'aruwrah" were those that violated the holiness and moral standards set by God. Such actions were not only socially unacceptable but also spiritually defiling, often leading to severe consequences for individuals or the community.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שַׁעֲרוּרָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>horror = horrible thing</b></font>;
