Berean Strong's Lexicon qatsu: To loathe, to be disgusted, to be weary of Original Word: קָצוּ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of loathing or disgust can be related to Greek terms such as "βδελύσσομαι" (bdelussomai - Strong's G948), which means to detest or abhor. Usage: The Hebrew verb "qatsu" conveys a strong sense of aversion or disgust. It is often used to describe a deep-seated emotional response of loathing or weariness, typically in the context of a relationship or situation that has become intolerable. This term can reflect both human emotions and divine reactions, illustrating a profound sense of dissatisfaction or rejection. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, emotions such as loathing or disgust were often expressed in terms of covenant relationships. When a party in a covenant felt betrayed or wronged, "qatsu" might describe their emotional response. This term underscores the seriousness with which covenants and relationships were regarded in biblical times, reflecting the deep emotional and spiritual implications of broken trust or unmet expectations.
