PERVERSION — a rare word (Leviticus 18:23; 20:12, both already on these pages), from a root meaning 'to mix, confuse.' Where to'evah names something detestable and zimah names calculated wrongdoing, tevel names a violation of natural category itself — a boundary between kinds crossed rather than a rule broken. The three words sit near each other in this chapter's own vocabulary without ever being used interchangeably; this translation keeps them as three distinct English words rather than flattening them into one repeated 'abomination.' → first discussed at Lev 18:23
