A better translation for BaZaH than "despise" would be "to spurn" which is more consistent with the Arabic meaning "to set aside"

Subject: [b-hebrew] Sane' and Bazah

 

Is there any difference between Sane' (usually translated hate) and Bazah (usually translated despise)?

 

Is either word stronger than the other?

 

Sane is used as an idiom in Aramaic “to set aside.”  It explains the difficult reading of Luke 14:26 Aramaic to Greek translation.
