SIBI-P1 H8130-14
he has hated
| Root | שנא (ś-n-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | hatred, hostility, enmity, rejection, personal animosity |
| Semantic Range | to hate, to be hostile toward, to regard with aversion, to reject, to treat as an enemy; in covenant contexts, to oppose or stand in enmity. |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, שנא often expresses covenantal polarity—love versus hate—signifying allegiance or rejection rather than mere emotion. It can denote moral opposition to evil, personal enmity between individuals or nations, or divine rejection in judgment contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew verb, Qal stem, perfect (qatal) 3rd person masculine singular from the root שנא. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple, active sense of the root שנא—personal hatred or enmity. The perfect (qatal) 3rd masculine singular form indicates a completed action performed by a male subject, hence “he has hated,” preserving both the root meaning and the grammatical details. |
