In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Used as in Genesis 37:4, where Joseph's brothers hate him so much that they cannot greet him kindly. Interpretation: Commentators note this as a sign of honesty: the brothers did not hide their hatred behind false friendliness. Some also see it as the start of the jealousy that leads to Joseph being sold.
