I believe in the Holiness code of Leviticus “toebah” (“abomination”) is used only in regard to male homosexual behavior. In Ezekiel and other books of the prophets it is used with regard to a variety of sins.

How do you think Daniel used it?

Yes, but it includes moral sins and IIRC those predominate. See here Homosexual relations and the Bible>Leviticus

True about Leviticus.

But not true about the other books of the Pentateuch

Deut 24:4 says that it is “toebah” for a woman to divorce one husband, marry a second husband, and then divorce the second husband and remarry the first.

Deut 25:16 uses the word “toebah” in reference to cheating someone in the marketplace. The context has nothing at all to do with pagan temple practices. It is simply describing something revolting to God.

Psalm 88:8 speaks of God making a man a “toebah” to his own acquaintances, even while he was calling upon the Lord for deliverance

Prov 11:1 refers back to Deut 25:16 and repeats the fact that unjust practices in the marketplace are “toebah” to God.
