This term appears in various passages, illustrating both literal and metaphorical meanings.<br><br><b>Old Testament References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/genesis/21-7.htm">Genesis 21:7</a></b> · In the account of Sarah and Isaac, Sarah expresses amazement at nursing a child in her old age: "Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age." This passage highlights the miraculous nature of Isaac's birth and the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and Sarah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/exodus/2-7.htm">Exodus 2:7-9</a></b> · The account of Moses as a baby includes his sister suggesting to Pharaoh's daughter that a Hebrew woman nurse the child: "Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, 'Shall I go and call a nursing woman from the Hebrews to nurse the child for you?' 'Go ahead,' Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother." This narrative underscores God's providence in preserving Moses for his future role as the deliverer of Israel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/1_samuel/1-23.htm">1 Samuel 1:23</a></b> · Hannah, the mother of Samuel, decides to wean her son before presenting him to the Lord: "Do what seems best to you," her husband Elkanah told her. "Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD confirm His word." So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him. This passage reflects the cultural and religious practices surrounding child-rearing and dedication to God.<br><br><b>New Testament References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/matthew/24-19.htm">Matthew 24:19</a></b> · In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus speaks of the difficulties faced by nursing mothers during times of tribulation: "How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers!" This statement emphasizes the severity of the coming trials and the vulnerability of those caring for young children.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/luke/11-27.htm">Luke 11:27</a></b> · A woman in the crowd praises Jesus by blessing His mother: "As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, 'Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!'" This exclamation acknowledges the honor of being the mother of the Messiah, while Jesus redirects the focus to spiritual obedience.<br><br><b>Metaphorical Usage:</b><br><br>The act of nursing is also used metaphorically in Scripture to describe spiritual nourishment and care. For example, in <a href="/isaiah/66-11.htm">Isaiah 66:11-12</a>, the imagery of a mother nursing her child is used to depict the comfort and abundance that God provides to His people: "So that you may nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight in her glorious abundance."<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The concept of nursing in the Bible often symbolizes God's provision, care, and the fulfillment of His promises. It serves as a reminder of the intimate and nurturing relationship between God and His people, as well as the importance of faith and reliance on divine sustenance. The imagery of nursing also highlights the value of life and the role of family in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant through generations.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
