de.ra.on denotes an enduring object of revulsion associated with reproach and the sight of transgressors' corpses.

The two verses present de.ra.on as a condition or object of lasting revulsion: Daniel 12:2 places it alongside reproach in an everlasting outcome, while Isaiah 66:24 applies it to the corpses of those who transgressed.

  1. Lasting revulsion tied to disgrace or judgment · dominant

    In Daniel 12:2, the construct singular form occurs in the outcome contrasted with everlasting life; the APB renders that outcome as "reproach and abhorrence forever." In Isaiah 66:24, the absolute singular form describes the corpses of men who transgressed, and the APB renders them as "an abhorrence to all flesh."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "abhorrence" in both verses, pairing it with "reproach" in Daniel 12:2 and applying it to the corpses viewed by all flesh in Isaiah 66:24. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
