Genesis 18:25

חָלִלָה לְּךָ מֵ עֲשֹׂת כַּ דָּבָר הַ זֶּה לְ הָמִית צַדִּיק עִם רָשָׁע וְ הָיָה כַ צַּדִּיק כָּ רָשָׁע חָלִלָה לָּךְ הֲ שֹׁפֵט כָּל הָ אָרֶץ לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט
Profane-thing!656 to-yourself from making like This Word to cause to die righteous with wicked; then he has become like the Righteous, like the Wicked—Profane-thing! to-yourself. Is the one-who-judges the whole of the Earth not making a justice?`
656

Strong’s #2486, chalilah. A directive. BDB—“used as exclamation literally ad profanum!” The exclamation is based on the verb chalal (#2486) to pollute, defile, profane. The opposite of sacred.
