Ahavah

When two people sincerely love one another, the Holy One reigns between them. This is alluded to by the Hebrew word for love (i.e., ahavah, אהבה), the gematria of which is thirteen, but when shared with another it is multiplied: 13 x 2 = 26 - the same value for the Name of the LORD (יהוה).

What a lovely thought about the Hebrew Gematria of ahava + ahava = YHWH! Thank you for your insights into the Hebrew language.
