With deliberate intent / intentionally

With deliberate intent / intentionally

With intent that existed beforehand; with prior thought; according to prior planning.

(“The Epicureans, who saw the opinion of the Greek Epicurus, said that all things fall by chance, for there is no deliberate intent in them, and his sect is called ‘pleasure seekers,’ because they believed that pleasure is the ultimate goal” – R. Yehuda Halevi, The Kuzari, Fifth Essay, 20:151; and likewise: “From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established strength, so that a person may recognize that everything is with deliberate intent, not as the enemies of God said, that everything is by nature and chance” – Radak, Psalms 8:3)
