xenophobia 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 ).
