an abomination:
"And ye have seenª °¹ their abominations,ª and their idols,ª woodª and stone,ª silverª and gold,ª which¹ [were] among¹ them:)" {Deu 29:17} + "For Solomonª went² °¹ afterª Ashtorethª the goddessª of the Zidonians,ª and afterª Milcomª the abominationª of the Ammonites.ª ...

"And Labanª wentª ° to shearª °¹ his sheep:ª and Rachelª had stolenª °¹ the imagesª that¹ [were] her father's.ª" {Gen 31:19} + "Now Rachelª had takenª °¹ the images,ª and putª ° them in the camel'sª furniture,ª and satª ° upon¹ them.

And all:
"And this¹ waterª that causeth the curseª ° shall goª ° into thy bowels,ª to make [thy] bellyª to swell,ª ° and [thy] thighª to rot:ª ° And the womanª shall say,ª ° Amen,ª amen.ª" {Num 5:22} + "That¹ I may performª °¹ the oathª which¹ I have swornª ° unto your fathers,ª to giveª ° them a landª flowingª ° with milkª and honey,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª Then answeredª ° I, and said,ª ° So be it,ª O LORD.ª" {Jer 11:5} + "Even the prophetª Jeremiahª said,ª ° Amen:ª the LORDª doª ° so:¹ the LORDª performª °¹ thy wordsª which¹ thou hast prophesied,ª ° to bring againª ° the vesselsª of the LORD'Sª house,ª and all¹ that is carried away captive,ª from Babylonª ¹ into¹ this¹ place.ª" {Jer 28:6} + "Andª leadª ° usª notª intoª temptation,ª butª deliverª ° usª fromª evil:ª Forª thineª isª ° the¹ kingdom,ª andª the¹ power,ª andª the¹ glory,ª for² ever.ª ¹ Amen.ª" {Mtt 6:13} + "Elseª whenª thou shalt blessª ° with the¹ spirit,ª howª shall he that occupiethª ° the¹ roomª of the¹ unlearnedª sayª ° Amenª ¹ atª thyª giving of thanks,ª seeingª he understandethª ° notª whatª thou sayest?ª °" {1Co 14:16}

Amen:
To each of the curses the people were to say Amen, as well as to the blessings; to denote a profession of their faith in the truth of them, that they were the real declarations of the wrath of God; and an acknowledgment of the equity of these curses. It was such an imprecation upon themselves, as strongly obliged them to have nothing to do with those evil practices on which the curse is entailed. We read of those who entered a curse to walk in God's law. "They claveª ° to¹ their brethren,ª their nobles,ª and enteredª ° into a curse,ª and into an oath,ª to walk² °¹ in God'sª law,ª which¹ was givenª ° byª Mosesª the servantª of God,ª and to observeª ° and doª °¹ all¹ the commandmentsª of the LORDª our Lord,ª and his judgmentsª and his statutes;ª" {Neh 10:29}. All the people, by saying this Amen, became bound one for another, that they would observe God's laws, by which every man was obliged, as far as he could, to prevent his neighbour from breaking these laws, and to reprove those that had offended, lest they should bear sin and the curse for them.
