It can denote the area of the body where one holds something close, symbolizing care and protection.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the bosom was considered a place of warmth and safety. It was common for individuals to carry items or even small children in their bosom, signifying a close and protective relationship. This imagery is often used in the Bible to convey God's care and the intimate relationship between God and His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/2683.htm">chetsen</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>bosom<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bosom (1), front of my garment (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חֹ֫צֶן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bosom</b></font>;
