The Detestable Thing/ Idol

In the question: The abomination. The cursed thing (in the source: a term for a picture that was brought to the temple of the temple by the Greeks. Abomination means abominable. Deafening means frightening).

("And some of them shall stand up, and defile the sanctuary, the stronghold, and remove the abomination, and set up the abomination that maketh desolate" - Daniel, or rather: "This is the book of the children of the city of Bitzash, which I wrote in my affliction and in my affliction, that our children which shall rise up after us may know that our city is a city full of Torah, and wisdom, and fear, and grace. And mercy and justice were from the day it was founded until the abomination of desolation, and the unclean, and the mad, which were with it, came and made it desolate. The Lord will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and he will redeem Israel from all his afflictions" - Agnon/ Opening to the book "The City and Its Fullness")
