Usage: The Hebrew verb "sena" primarily conveys the idea of intense dislike or aversion. It is often used in the context of personal relationships, enmity, or moral and spiritual opposition. In the Old Testament, "sena" can describe both human emotions and God's righteous indignation against sin and idolatry.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, emotions such as love and hate were often expressed in terms of covenantal relationships. To "hate" could imply a breach of covenant or loyalty, whether between individuals or between people and God. The concept of hate in the Hebrew Bible is not merely emotional but often involves actions that demonstrate opposition or rejection.
