Leviticus 19:17 meaning and explanation
You must not harbor hatred against your brother in your heart. Directly rebuke your neighbor, so that you will not incur guilt on account of him.
Leviticus 19:17, Berean Standard Bible

The LORD is speaking to Moses for the whole congregation of Israel at Sinai, and this verse sits among commands that apply God's holiness to ordinary relationships. Hatred kept quietly in the heart is forbidden; the alternative is honest, direct reproof of a neighbor rather than silent resentment or gossip behind his back.
