ABOMINATION anything that offends the spiritual, religious, or moral sense of a
person and causes extreme disgust, hatred, or loathing. Among the objects described
as an abomination were the carved images of pagan gods (Deut. 7:2526), the
sacrifice to God of inferior, blemished animals (Deut. 17:1), the practice of idolatry
(Deut. 17:25), and the fashioning of a carved or molded image of a false god (Deut.
27:15; Is. 44:19). Other abominations were sexual transgressions (Leviticus 18), the
adoption of the clothing of the opposite sex (Deut. 22:5), and the practice of magic,
witchcraft, and spiritism (Deut. 18:912). Most of the Hebrew words translated
abomination have the meaning of impure, filthy, and uncleanthat which is foulsmelling and objectionable to a holy God.
Some selected things that the Lord says are abominations:
Leviticus 18:22-25
22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 Nor shall
you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before
an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. 24 Do not defile yourselves with any of
these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before
you. 25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it,
and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
Deuteronomy 7:25-26
25 You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the
silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it
is an abomination to the LORD your God. 26 Nor shall you bring an abomination into
your house, lest you be doomed to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest it and
utterly abhor it, for it is an accursed thing.
Deuteronomy 25:13-16
13 You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. 14 You shall
not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. 15 You shall have a
perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, that your days may be lengthened
in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. 16 For all who do such things, all
who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
1st Kings 14:22-24

22 Now Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked Him to jealousy with
their sins which they committed, more than all that their fathers had done. 23 For they
also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and wooden images on every
high hill and under every green tree. 24 And there were also perverted persons in the
land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD had
cast out before the children of Israel.
How God handles abominations among His People:
2nd Chronicles 36:14-19
14 Moreover all the leaders of the priests and the people transgressed more and
more, according to all the abominations of the nations, and defiled the house of the
LORD which He had consecrated in Jerusalem. 15 And the LORD God of their fathers
sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because
He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. 16 But they mocked the
messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath
of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy. 17 Therefore He
brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the
sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin,
on the aged or the weak; He gave them all into his hand. 18 And all the articles from
the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the
treasures of the king and of his leaders, all these he took to Babylon. 19 Then they
burned the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces
with fire, and destroyed all its precious possessions.
Does the New Testament mention abominations?
Luke 16:15-17
15 And He said to them, You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God
knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the
sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the
kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. 17 And it is
easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.
1st Peter 4:3
3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles
when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and
abominable idolatries.
Revelation 21:8
8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,
idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death.
