In the Hebrew text, the word for "hate" is "שָׂנֵא" (sane), which implies a deep-seated animosity or rejection. Historically, this can be seen in the context of the Canaanite nations that Israel was instructed to drive out. These nations were characterized by idolatry and practices that were abominable to God. From a conservative Christian perspective, this phrase serves as a warning against turning away from God and embracing worldly or sinful practices.<p><b>He will repay to their faces</b><br />The concept of repayment "to their faces" indicates a direct and personal retribution. The Hebrew word "פָּנִים" (panim) is used here, which literally means "faces" and suggests an immediate and unmistakable confrontation. This phrase underscores the justice of God, who deals with individuals according to their actions. In a broader scriptural context, it reflects the principle of divine justice found throughout the Bible, where God holds individuals accountable for their deeds.<p><b>with destruction</b><br />The term "destruction" in Hebrew is "אָבַד" (abad), which conveys the idea of perishing or being utterly cut off. This is not merely a physical destruction but can also imply spiritual ruin. In the historical context of Deuteronomy, it refers to the complete overthrow of the Canaanite nations. For conservative Christians, this serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of sin and rebellion against God, emphasizing the need for repentance and obedience.<p><b>He will not hesitate</b><br />The phrase "He will not hesitate" suggests the certainty and swiftness of God's judgment. The Hebrew text implies that God is not slow or reluctant in executing justice. This reflects the biblical theme that God is both patient and just, giving people time to repent but ultimately holding them accountable. It serves as an encouragement for believers to trust in God's timing and justice, even when it seems delayed.<p><b>to repay to his face</b><br />Reiterating the earlier phrase, "to repay to his face" emphasizes the personal nature of God's judgment. It is a direct response to the individual's actions, leaving no room for misunderstanding or escape. This phrase reinforces the idea that God's justice is not abstract but personal and specific. For believers, it is a call to live righteously, knowing that God sees and judges all actions.<p><b>the one who hates Him</b><br />This final phrase brings the focus back to the individual who actively rejects God. It serves as a stark contrast to those who love and obey God, highlighting the consequences of enmity with the Creator. In the broader biblical narrative, it aligns with the theme of choosing between life and death, blessing and curse, as presented in Deuteronomy. For conservative Christians, it is a call to examine one's heart and ensure that it is aligned with God's will, avoiding the path of those who hate Him.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/deuteronomy/7.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And repayeth them that hate him to their face.</span> The phrase, "to their face "(<span class="hebrew">אל פָנָיו</span>, to their faces), has been variously explained. It has been taken as meaning, instantly, <span class="accented">statim</span>, <span class="accented">hand cunctanter</span> (Vulgate, Gesenius); openly, manifestly, <span class="accented">palam</span> (Grotius, Calvin, Michaelis); during life, <span class="accented">in hac vita</span> (Targum, Vatab.); in their presence, in their own sight (LXX., <span class="greek">κατὰ</span> <span class="greek">πρόσωπον</span>: Rosenmüller). The last seems the best. <span class="hebrew">פָנֶהּ</span> signifies properly, front, and <span class="hebrew">אֶל פָנִים</span>, to the front, before, in presence (cf. <a href="/leviticus/9-5.htm">Leviticus 9:5</a>; <a href="/exodus/23-17.htm">Exodus 23:17</a>). The hater of God should be repaid, so that the man should himself see and feel that he had been smitten of God (cf. <a href="/isaiah/65-6.htm">Isaiah 65:6</a>; <a href="/job/34-11.htm">Job 34:11</a>; Psalm 62:13 <span class="pc_st_rem">[</span>Psalm 62:12<span class="pc_st_rem">]</span>).
