Thayer's Greek Lexicon
βδέλυγμα, βδελύγματος, τό (βδελύσσομαι), a Biblical and ecclesiastical word; in the Sept. mostly for úÌåòÅáÈä, also for ùÄÑ÷åÌõ and ùÆÑ÷Æõ, a foul thing (loathsome on acct. of its stench), a detestable thing; (Tertullianabominamentum); Luth.Greuel; (A. V. abomination);
a. universally: Luk 16:15.
b. in the O. T. often used of idols and things pertaining to idolatry, to be held in abomination by the Israelites; as 1Ki 11:6 (); (); 2Ki 16:3; 2Ki 21:2; 1Es 7:13; Wis 12:23 Wis 14:11; hence, in the N. T. in Rev 17:4 f of idol-worship and its impurities; ποιεῖν βδέλυγμα ψεῦδος, Rev 21:27.
c. the expression τό βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως the desolating abomination (others take the genitive, others; e. g. Meyer as a genitive epexegetical) in Mat 24:15; Mar 13:14 (1Ma 1:54), seems to designate some terrible event in the Jewish war by which the temple was desecrated, perhaps that related by Josephus, b. j. 4, 9, 11ff (the Sept. Dan 11:31; Dan 12:11, βδέλυγμα (τῆς) ἐρημώσεως for îÀùÉÑîÅí ùÄÑ÷ÌåÌõ and ùÉÑîÅí ùÄÑ÷åÌõ, Dan 9:27 βδέλυγμα τῶν ἐρημώσεων for îÀùÉÑîÅí ùÄÑ÷åÌöÄéí the abomination (or abominations) wrought by the desolator, i. e. not the statue of Jupiter Olympius, but a little idol-altar placed upon the altar of whole burnt offerings; cf. Grimm on 1 Macc., p. 31; Hengstenberg, Authentie des Daniel, p. 85f; (the principal explanations of the N. T. phrase are noticed in Dr. James Morison’s Commentary on Matthew, the passage cited).)
