Definition: Anethole is a term in Jewish scripture referring to a sin or act that violates the mitzvot (commandments) of God's Torah, specifically "slander" (malakh). It implies an attempt to slander someone else's character, reputation, or good deeds. The word 'anethole' is primarily used in connection with the sin of the High Priest Leviticus 19:28-31, where he was publicly defamed by his opponent, who threatened him with death.
