ביטוי (אנגלית)

Both Their Love, Their Hatred, and Their Jealousy Have Already Perished

הגדרה (אנגלית)

An expression describing that all emotions—love, hatred, and jealousy—have already vanished, as if erased or lost over time.

(“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, for their memory is forgotten. Their love as well as their hatred and their envy have already perished.” — Ecclesiastes 9:5 And likewise: And the dead know nothing’—these are the wicked, who even in their lifetime are called dead, as it is said: ‘And you, slain wicked one, prince of Israel.’ ‘Their love as well as their hatred’—the verse speaks of the generation of the Flood. ‘Their love’—that they loved idolatry; ‘their hatred’—that they hated the Holy One, blessed be He.” — Yalkut Shimoni, Kohelet, remez 989)
