Strong's Lexicon satam: To bear a grudge, to hate, to oppose Original Word: שָׂטַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of bearing a grudge or enmity can be related to Greek terms such as "μισέω" (miseo - to hate) and "ἐχθρός" (echthros - enemy). Usage: The Hebrew verb "satam" primarily conveys the idea of harboring animosity or enmity towards someone. It is often used in contexts where there is a deep-seated grudge or hatred, sometimes leading to active opposition or hostility. The term implies a persistent and enduring form of enmity, rather than a fleeting or momentary feeling. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, personal relationships and community harmony were highly valued. The concept of "satam" reflects the disruption of these relationships through sustained animosity. Bearing a grudge was seen as detrimental not only to personal relationships but also to the community's well-being. The Hebrew Scriptures often emphasize reconciliation and forgiveness as means to restore harmony and reflect God's character.
