Commentary for Proverbs 8:17
אֲ֭נִי אהביה [אֹהֲבַ֣י] אֵהָ֑ב וּ֝מְשַׁחֲרַ֗י יִמְצָאֻֽנְנִי׃
I love them that love me, And those that seek me earnestly shall find me.
Rashi on Proverbs
I will love those who love me Heb. אהבי. [This is the reading.] The text is written: אוהביה, those who love her. Said the Holy One, blessed be He: “I will love those who love the Torah.” I heard this from Rabbi Aaron in the name of Rabbi Nathan.
