Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁעַר (sha'ar), which means to be horrified or appalled.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to שַׁעֲרוּרָה. However, Greek terms that convey similar meanings of horror or abomination might include βδέλυγμα (bdelugma • Strong's Greek 946), which is used in the New Testament to describe something detestable or abominable. Usage: The word שַׁעֲרוּרָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe actions or situations that are considered abominable or shocking. It is often used in a context that highlights the moral or spiritual degradation of a people or society. Context: The Hebrew term שַׁעֲרוּרָה appears in the Old Testament to describe actions or events that are deeply disturbing or appalling. It is used to emphasize the severity of certain sins or transgressions, often in a prophetic context where the moral state of Israel or Judah is being critiqued. For example, in Jeremiah 5:30, the prophet Jeremiah uses this term to describe the appalling and horrible state of the land due to the people's unfaithfulness: "An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land." (BSB). This usage underscores the gravity of the situation and serves as a call to repentance and return to covenant faithfulness. The term is also found in Jeremiah 18:13 and Jeremiah 23:14, where it continues to highlight the shocking nature of the people's actions in contrast to the holiness and righteousness expected by God.
