    DefinitionShort: (a fixed phrase derived from Hebrew, literally: the detestable thing of desolation) an abomination (either an object or an event) which defiles a holy place and thus causes it to be abandoned and left desolate
    Glosses: ['an abomination which desolates', 'a horrible thing which defiles']
    Comments: In translating βδέλυγμα, it may be necessary in some languages to use a phrase such as ‘that which God detests’ or ‘that which God hates’ or even ‘that which causes God’s anger.’ The term ἐρημώσεως may then be translated as ‘that which causes people to abandon’ or ‘that which causes something to be deserted.’ The entire phrase may then be translated in some languages as ‘that which God detests and which causes something to be abandoned’ or ‘… left desolate.’
