Hate evil The phrase "Hate evil" is a direct call to action, urging believers to have a strong aversion to what is morally wrong or wicked. The Hebrew word for "hate" is "שָׂנֵא" (sane), which implies a deep-seated aversion or intense dislike. In the context of ancient Israel, this command was particularly poignant as the nation was rife with idolatry and injustice. The call to hate evil is not just a passive dislike but an active rejection of sin, aligning with God's own nature, as He is holy and cannot tolerate evil. This phrase challenges believers to examine their own lives and society, to discern and reject what is contrary to God's will. love good establish justice in the gate Perhaps the LORD, the God of Hosts may be gracious to the remnant of Joseph Parallel Commentaries ...
