Definition: The word "akepiro" in Hebrew is an acronym that translates to "to be loved, to be desired." It refers to a specific kind of love or affection that someone demonstrates towards another person. In the Bible context, this phrase occurs within verses 25-30 of the Book of Malachi, where it describes how God loves His people and wants them to be loved. Specifically in verse 28, Malachi is calling on each man to be like a good olive tree that bears fruit and gives its fruit to others. This love can manifest differently depending on context and situation, but it usually refers to a deep affection or care for someone else.
