Another kind of love in the Bible is the love between parents and children, and there is no better, typical, example than the love that Jacob had to his two sons from Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin. Infect, His love to Rachel continues with his love to their combined descendents.

The expression that we are going to speak about today is also found the love between David and Jonathan. This special love, some will say maybe sexual, is written with the same expression that we have in Genesis 44:30 – the love that speaks of the two souls that tied together.

 “וְעַתָּה כְּבֹאִי אֶל עַבְדְּךָ אָבִי וְהַנַּעַר אֵינֶנּוּ אִתָּנוּ וְנַפְשׁוֹ קְשׁוּרָה בְנַפְשׁוֹ“

“So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father and if my

Father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy’s life”

Let us see also the description of love between David and Jonathan as written is 1 Samuel 18:1-

“וְנֶפֶשׁ יְהוֹנָתָן נִקְשְׁרָה בְּנֶפֶשׁ דָּוִד וַיֶּאֱהָבֵהוּ יְהוֹנָתָן כְּנַפְשׁוֹ”

“Jonathan became one in spirit with David and he loved him as himself”

Pay attention my friends that the expression is the same, but we have different meaning, translation and context. The spirit or the soul is bound or tied to the other spirit or soul literally, but by no means can we say that this is the same love.

I must say that every time when I am reading in The Scriptures I am feeling that I am having a small revelation, and this was our revelation for today- love could be with the same words, but every lover feel and understand it differently . The true love for me, beside to my wife and my son is for The Scriptures – my soul attached to them all the time.
