Context: • דְּרָאוֹן (deraon) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a condition or state of being that is utterly detestable or loathsome. The term is used in Isaiah 66:24, where it describes the fate of those who have rebelled against God. The verse reads: "And as they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind." (BSB)
• In this context, דְּרָאוֹן conveys the idea of an everlasting disgrace or abhorrence, emphasizing the severity of divine judgment. The imagery of undying worms and unquenchable fire underscores the perpetual nature of this state of aversion.
• The term is significant in theological discussions about the consequences of sin and rebellion against God, serving as a stark reminder of the ultimate fate of those who oppose divine will.
