Isaiah 56:6, לְאַהֲבָה אֶת־שֵּׁם יְהֹוָה “to love the name of Jehovah,” Deuteronomy 10:15, 11:13, 22 Deuteronomy 11:22; Joshua 22:5, 23:11 with בְּ 1 Kings 10:9, בְּאַהֲבַת יְהֹוָה אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵל “for the love of Jehovah towards Israel.” In the same sense with the prefix בְּ Hosea 3:1 and מִן Deuteronomy 7:8, מֵאַהֲבַת יְהֹוָה אֶתְכֶם “because that Jehovah loveth you.”
