In Hebrew, when a letter is placed in the middle of a two-letter gate, it often represents a deep affection for the concept that the gate itself symbolizes. In the case of *יע* (Yod-Ayin) with *ש* (Shin) placed in the middle, it can also be understood as a metaphor for salvation—*His flesh* יע being the means through which the increase of the Word occurs, and by loving this increase ש, we are "saved."

'''Loving the Increase of the Word and Being Saved'''
In Hebrew, when a letter is placed in the middle of a two-letter word, it deepens the meaning of the word. For example, when ''ש'' (Shin) is placed in the middle of ''יע'' (Yod-Ayin), it represents salvation. ''יע'' can be understood as "His flesh," and the ''ש'' symbolizes the growth of God’s Word. By loving this increase, we experience salvation.
* ''י'' ('Yod') means "his."
* ''י'' ('Yod') means "his."
* ''ש'' ('Shin') means "increase," especially the spreading and growth of God’s Word.
* ''ש'' ('Shin') means "increase," especially the spreading and growth of God’s Word.
* ''ע'' ('Ayin') means "flesh."
* ''ע'' ('Ayin') means "flesh."


Loving the increase of the Word means connecting with Christ, who is the Word made flesh. The ''Shin'' in the middle of ''יע'' shows that Christ’s flesh "loves" the teaching. This growth occurs as we learn from Christ and allow His Word to transform us.
