Strong's Lexicon sinah: Hatred, enmity Original Word: שִׂנְאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂנֵא (sane), meaning "to hate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3404 (μισέω, miseo): To hate, detest - G2189 (ἔχθρα, echthra): Enmity, hostility Usage: The Hebrew word "sinah" refers to a deep-seated animosity or hostility. It is often used in the context of personal relationships, societal interactions, and even in the spiritual realm to describe the enmity between God and sin. In the Old Testament, "sinah" is frequently associated with the consequences of sin and the breakdown of relationships, both human and divine. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, relationships were central to community life. The concept of "sinah" would have been understood as a destructive force, capable of tearing apart families, tribes, and even nations. The Israelites were called to live in covenantal love with God and one another, and "sinah" represented a violation of this divine order. The cultural emphasis on community and harmony made "sinah" a particularly grievous sin, as it disrupted the peace and unity that were highly valued.
