detestable thing
Object that is regarded as utterly detestable, as associating with it would make one unclean
ExamplesLeviticus 7:21 ‘When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”
Leviticus 11:10 ‘But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you,
Leviticus 11:11 and they shall be detestable to you; you may not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.
