Genesis 43:32
43:32 They set a place for him, a separate place for his brothers,
and another for the Egyptians who were eating with him. (The Egyptians are not able to eat with Hebrews, for the Egyptians think it is disgusting
to do so.)
Genesis 46:34
46:34 Tell him, ‘Your servants have taken care of cattle
from our youth until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of Goshen,
for everyone who takes care of sheep is disgusting
to the Egyptians.”
Deuteronomy 7:25-26
7:25 You must burn the images of their gods, but do not covet the silver and gold that covers them so much that you take it for yourself and thus become ensnared by it; for it is abhorrent
to the
Lord your God.
7:26 You must not bring any abhorrent thing into your house and thereby become an object of divine wrath
along with it.
You must absolutely detest
and abhor it,
for it is an object of divine wrath.
Deuteronomy 12:30-31
12:30 After they have been destroyed from your presence, be careful not to be ensnared like they are; do not pursue their gods and say, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do the same.”
12:31 You must not worship the
Lord your God the way they do!
For everything that is abhorrent
to him,
everything he hates, they have done when worshiping their gods. They even burn up their sons and daughters before their gods!
Ezra 9:1
A Prayer of Ezra
9:1 Now when these things had been completed, the leaders approached me and said, “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated themselves from the local residents who practice detestable things similar to those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Isaiah 44:19
44:19 No one thinks to himself,
nor do they comprehend or understand and say to themselves:
‘I burned half of it in the fire –
yes, I baked bread over the coals;
I roasted meat and ate it.
With the rest of it should I make a disgusting idol?
Should I bow down to dry wood?’
