It is a symbol of life, creation, and the miraculous process of birth. The womb is frequently mentioned in Scripture, highlighting its significance in God's design for human life and His sovereign role in creation. Creation and Sovereignty The Bible emphasizes God's intimate involvement in the formation of life within the womb. In <a href="/psalms/139-13.htm">Psalm 139:13-14</a> , David declares, "For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." This passage underscores the belief that God is the divine craftsman, intricately involved in the creation of each person from the very beginning. Blessing and Fruitfulness The womb is often associated with blessings and the continuation of lineage. In <a href="/genesis/29-31.htm">Genesis 29:31</a> , it is noted, "When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren." Here, the opening of the womb is seen as a divine blessing, a sign of God's favor and compassion. Similarly, in <a href="/deuteronomy/7-13.htm">Deuteronomy 7:13</a> , God promises Israel, "He will love you and bless you and multiply you. He will bless the fruit of your womb and the produce of your land." Barrenness and Divine Intervention Barrenness, or the inability to conceive, is a recurring theme in the Bible, often portrayed as a challenge that invites divine intervention. The accounts of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Hannah illustrate how God can open the womb in His timing and according to His purposes. For instance, in <a href="/1_samuel/1-19.htm">1 Samuel 1:19-20</a> , after Hannah's fervent prayer, "the LORD remembered her. So in the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son." Prophetic and Messianic Significance The womb also holds prophetic significance, particularly in the context of the Messiah's birth. <a href="/isaiah/7-14.htm">Isaiah 7:14</a> prophesies, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel." This prophecy is fulfilled in the New Testament with the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the miraculous nature of His conception and the divine purpose for His life. Spiritual Symbolism Beyond its physical and biological implications, the womb is used metaphorically to describe spiritual truths. In <a href="/job/1-21.htm">Job 1:21</a> , Job reflects on the transient nature of life, stating, "Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return." This highlights the idea of human dependence on God from birth to death. Additionally, the womb can symbolize the hidden and mysterious workings of God, as seen in <a href="/ecclesiastes/11-5.htm">Ecclesiastes 11:5</a> : "As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones are formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things." In summary, the concept of the womb in the Bible is rich with meaning, reflecting God's creative power, His blessings, and His sovereign will in the unfolding of human history.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
