LEV626 [This verse]. Our Sages, z"l, said (Yoma 23a) that the prohibition for bearing a grudge applies only to [an offense] associated with money [and possessions] (I.e., he bears a grudge that the other person refused to lend him a spade, but not because he treated him haughtily, scornfully, or sought his harm); but regarding [an offense through another's] haughtiness, scornfulness, and seeking [his] evil, it is permissible to bear such things within one's heart. Concerning this, our Sages, z"l, said (ibid.), "Any Torah scholar who [when offended] does not take revenge and bear a grudge like a serpent is not a Torah scholar." Nonetheless, if they ask forgiveness he should overlook the injustices done to him.
