Usage: The Hebrew verb "sane" primarily conveys a strong aversion or intense dislike. It is often used to describe personal enmity or hostility between individuals or groups. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "sane" can refer to both human emotions and divine attitudes. It is used to express the rejection of evil, idolatry, and unrighteousness, as well as interpersonal conflicts and animosities.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "hate" was not merely an emotional response but often involved actions and decisions that reflected one's values and allegiances. The Hebrew Bible frequently contrasts love and hate to illustrate the choices between following God's commandments and pursuing idolatry or sin. The covenantal relationship between God and Israel emphasized love for God and rejection of anything contrary to His will.
