# brutish

adjective

«brutish» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

It means lacking understanding and moral sense, like a beast. It is a person who will not learn and who hates correction.

**Interpretation.** The Psalm shows a person who admits he was brutish before God, which tradition takes as honest humility. Proverbs links the word to hating reproof, as the opposite of wisdom.
