"Love and hate" is a Hebrew idiom for "love and love more."

It's used in the sense that you love 'A' so much, that it's as if your love for 'B' is instead hatred of 'B.'

“Your dwelling will be
away from the earth’s richness,
away from the dew of heaven above.
You will live by the sword
and you will serve your brother.
But when you grow restless,
you will throw his yoke
from off your neck.” (Gen. 27:39-40).
