GEN1105 When a man sins against another man, he [the latter] shall not hate him and remain silent.   As it is said about the wicked: “And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor evil, although Absalom hated Amnon.”   Samuel 2 13:22. [After Amnon had forced their sister, Tamar, to lie with him, Absalom hated Amnon and did not rebuke him.]  Rather, he is commanded to speak to him, and to say to him: “Why did you do such-and-such to me?  Why did you sin against me in such-and-such a matter?”   AS it is said: “You shall surely rebuke your neighbor.” Leviticus 19:17. If he repents and requests forgiveness from him, he needs to forgive and shall not be cruel.  As it is said [this verse]. [After Abimelech showed regret from having taken Sarah, whom he had supposed to be Abraham’s sister, Abraham asked God not to punish Abimelech.]   EWM 48
