Deuteronomy 29:17

Context
29:17 You have seen their detestable things 1  and idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold.) 2 

1 tn The Hebrew term שִׁקּוּץ (shiquts) refers to anything out of keeping with the nature and character of Yahweh and therefore to be avoided by his people Israel. It is commonly used with or as a synonym for תּוֹעֵבָה (toevah, “detestable, abhorrent”; 2 Kgs 23:13; Jer 16:18; Ezek 5:11; 7:20; 11:18, 21; see note on the term “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25). See M. Grisanti, NIDOTTE 4:243-46.

2 tn The Hebrew text includes “which were with them.” Verses 16-17 constitute a parenthetical comment.
