1. Hostility toward persons or groups · dominant

   Active participles commonly identify people as hostile opponents: in Deuteronomy 30:7 the APB renders those who pursue Israel as "those who hate you," and in Esther 9:5 it places such people among the Jews' enemies. The same hostility appears in personal relationships: in Genesis 37:4 Joseph's brothers cannot speak peaceably to him, while in Deuteronomy 19:11 a man who hates his neighbor lies in wait and strikes him.

2. Aversion and rejection of what is objectionable · common

   The verb expresses rejection of conduct and objects evaluated negatively. In Amos 5:15 it stands with loving good and establishing justice at the gate; in Deuteronomy 12:31 it concerns an abomination done for other gods; and in Isaiah 61:8 the APB renders the clause "I hate robbery with burnt offering." It can also concern burdensome experience or work, as the speaker in Ecclesiastes 2:17 rejects life because the work under the sun is evil to him.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB usually uses "hate," "hated," or "those who hate." It also uses "loathes" in Amos 6:8 and "abhor" elsewhere in the clause of Amos 5:10; These variations should not be treated as separate lexical definitions.
