ahav אָהַב ahav

To love — and its FIRST appearance in the Bible is Genesis 22:2, 'your son, your only one, whom you LOVE.' Love enters scripture at the exact moment it is asked to be surrendered. The Greek Bible softened yachid ('only one') to agapēton, 'beloved' — the very word the voice at Jesus' baptism will use of a son. → first discussed at Gen 22:2
