Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Be it far from me - The phrase so rendered is a favorite one in the Books of Samuel, where it occurs ten or eleven times. It is variously rendered in the King James Version, "God forbid," and "Be it far from me, thee, etc." Literally, "Be it an abomination to me."

10 If it do [06213] evil [07451] in my sight [05869], that it obey [08085] not my voice [06963], then I will repent [05162] of the good [02896], wherewith I said [0559] I would benefit [03190] them.

10 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
11 Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499], the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], hath turned [07725] my wrath [02534] away [07725] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478], while he was zealous [07065] for my sake [07068] among [08432] them, that I consumed [03615] not the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in my jealousy [07068].
12 Wherefore say [0559], Behold, I give [05414] unto him my covenant [01285] of peace [07965]:
13 And he shall have it, and his seed [02233] after [0310] him, even the covenant [01285] of an everlasting [05769] priesthood [03550]; because [0834] he was zealous [07065] for his God [0430], and made an atonement [03722] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
15 And thou shalt anoint [04886] them, as thou didst anoint [04886] their father [01], that they may minister unto me in the priest's office [03547]: for their anointing [04888] shall surely be an everlasting [05769] priesthood [03550] throughout their generations [01755].
9 And thou shalt gird [02296] them with girdles [073], Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], and put [02280] the bonnets [04021] on them: and the priest's office [03550] shall be theirs for a perpetual [05769] statute [02708]: and thou shalt consecrate [04390] [03027] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121].
