From:
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Abomination
This
word
is
used
, (1.)
To
express
the
idea
that
the
Egyptians
considered
themselves
as
defiled
when
they
ate
with
strangers
(
Gen
. 43:32).
The
Jews
subsequently
followed
the
same
practice
,
holding
it
unlawful
to
eat
or
drink
with
foreigners
(
John
18:28;
Acts
10:28; 11:3).
(2.)
Every
shepherd
was
"
an
abomination
"
unto
the
Egyptians
(
Gen
. 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.)
Daniel
(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
Dan
. 9:27 (
comp
.
Matt
. 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
(44:19);
the
ceremonies
of
the
apostate
Church
of
Rome
(
Rev
. 17:4);
a
detestable
act
(
Ezek
. 22:11).
