Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of expressing hatred or enmity. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel.

Context: The Aramaic verb שְׂנֵא (sĕne') is a cognate of the Hebrew שָׂנֵא (sane'), both of which convey the idea of hatred or enmity. In the Old Testament, the Aramaic form is found in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The term is used to describe the animosity or hostility that characters in the narrative experience or express. For example, in Daniel 3:13, the term is used to describe the anger and hostility of King Nebuchadnezzar towards Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego when they refuse to worship the golden image he set up. The concept of hatred in the biblical context often extends beyond mere emotional dislike to include actions and intentions that are adversarial or harmful. The use of this term in the Aramaic portions of the Bible highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity present in the biblical text, reflecting the historical context in which these narratives were composed.
