Abomination
This word is used,
1. To express the idea that the Egyptians considered themselves as
defiled when they ate with strangers Ge 43:32 The Jews
subsequently followed the same practice, holding it unlawful to
eat or drink with foreigners Joh 18:28 Ac 10:28 11:3
2. Every shepherd was "an abomination" unto the Egyptians Ge 46:34
This aversion to shepherds, such as the Hebrews, arose probably
from the fact that Lower and Middle Egypt had formerly been held
in oppressive subjection by a tribe of nomad shepherds (the
Hyksos), who had only recently been expelled, and partly also
perhaps from this other fact that the Egyptians detested the
lawless habits of these wandering shepherds.
3. Pharaoh was so moved by the fourth plague, that while he refused
the demand of Moses, he offered a compromise, granting to the
Israelites permission to hold their festival and offer their
sacrifices in Egypt. This permission could not be accepted,
because Moses said they would have to sacrifice "the abomination
of the Egyptians" Ex 8:26 i.e., the cow or ox, which all the
Egyptians held as sacred, and which they regarded it as
sacrilegious to kill.
4. Da 11:31 in that section of his prophecies which is generally
interpreted as referring to the fearful calamities that were to
fall on the Jews in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, says, "And
they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate."
Antiochus Epiphanes caused an altar to be erected on the altar
of burnt-offering, on which sacrifices were offered to Jupiter
Olympus. (Comp. 1 Macc. 1:57) This was the abomination of
the desolation of Jerusalem. The same language is employed in
Da 9:27 comp. Mt 24:15 where the reference is
probably to the image-crowned standards which the Romans set
up at the east gate of the temple (A.D. 70) and to which
they paid idolatrous honours. "Almost the entire religion of
the Roman camp consisted in worshipping the ensign, swearing
by the ensign, and in preferring the ensign before all other
gods." These ensigns were an "abomination" to the Jews, the
"abomination of desolation." This word is also used
symbolically of sin in general Isa 66:3 an idol Isa 44:19
the ceremonies of the apostate Church of Rome Re 17:4 a
detestable act Eze 22:11
