Shiqquts

Shiqquts is used in the following ways:

1. In prophecies in Daniel 11:31 (cf. 12:11), it is generally interpreted as referring to the fearful calamities that were to fall on the Jews in the time of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, saying, "And they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate." Jerome, and most of the Christian fathers, suppose that the reference is to Antiochus as the type of Antichrist, and that the description passes from the type to the antitype.^[3] Idolatry is presented as the chief sin in the Bible, and shiqquts is often used to describe such.
2. In his campaign of Hellenization, Antiochus caused an altar to be erected on the altar for burnt-offerings of the Second Temple, on which pig sacrifices were offered to Zeus Olympios. (Comp. 1 Maccabees 1:54). Following the wording of Daniel 9:27, this may have been the abomination of desolation of Jerusalem.
3. sinful sacrifices (Isaiah 66:3)
4. idolatry (Deuteronomy 29:17, Ezekiel 20:7,8, 1Kings 11:5–7, Jeremiah 13:27)
5. witchcraft (2 Kings 23:24)

The word sheqets is used with reference to:

1. seafood that lacks fins and scales (Leviticus 11:10–12)
2. all insects except for locust, crickets and grasshoppers (Leviticus 11:20–23, Leviticus 11:41)
3. eagles, ossifrage, and the osprey (Leviticus 11:13)
4. other biblically unclean animals or touching certain things,(Leviticus 7:21)

Consequently, these animals were unclean and therefore eating them was forbidden. The exception is Leviticus 11:41, where those who eat unclean insects are made abominable (using a verb derived from tōʻēḇā).

Shâqats is rendered in the KJV as follows:

1. abominable (Leviticus 11:43, Leviticus 20:25)
2. abomination (Leviticus 11:11, Leviticus 11:13)
3. abhorred (Psalms 22:24)
4. detest (Deuteronomy 7:26)

Tōʻēḇā

Tōʻēḇā is used in the following ways:

1. Every shepherd was "an abomination" unto the Egyptians (Genesis 46:34).
2. 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" (Exodus 8:26).
3. Proverbs 6:16–19 lists seven things which are also abominations: "haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers."

Tōʻēḇā is also used in Jewish (and Christian Old Testament) scriptures to refer to:

1. idolatry or idols (Deuteronomy 7:25, Deuteronomy 13:14, Isaiah 44:19)
2. illicit sex (e.g. prostitution, adultery, incest) (Ezekiel 16:22,58, Ezekiel 22:11, Ezekiel 33:26)
3. illicit marriage (Deuteronomy 24:2–4)
4. a man "lying with a man as with a woman" (see Homosexuality in the Hebrew Bible) (Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 18:27–30, Leviticus 20:13)
5. temple prostitution (1Kings 14:24)
6. offerings from the above (Deuteronomy 23:18)
7. child sacrifice to Molech (Jeremiah 32:35)
8. cross-dressing (Deuteronomy 22:5)
9. cheating in the market by using rigged weights (Deuteronomy 25:16, Proverbs 11:1)
10. dishonesty (Proverbs 12:22)
11. pride (Proverbs 16:5)
12. unclean animals (Deuteronomy 14:3)
13. stealing, murder, and adultery, breaking covenants (Jeremiah 7:9,10)
14. usury, making unethical or immoral monetary loans that unfairly enrich the lender, oppressing the poor and needy, etc. (Ezekiel 18:10–13)
