Taw The double-minded The Hebrew word here is "סֵעֵפִים" (se'epim), which can be translated as "divided" or "double-minded." This term suggests a lack of commitment or a wavering between two opinions or paths. In the context of ancient Israel, this could refer to those who were not fully committed to the covenant with Yahweh, perhaps swaying between worshiping God and following pagan practices. The double-minded person is unstable, as James 1:8 also describes, and this instability is despised because it reflects a heart that is not fully devoted to God. In a spiritual sense, this calls believers to examine their own hearts for any divided loyalties and to strive for a singular devotion to God.
