The term is derived from the Hebrew word "מֵעֶה" (me'eh) and the Greek word "σπλάγχνα" (splanchna), both of which can refer to the physical intestines or internal organs, but are frequently used in a figurative sense to denote the seat of emotions and compassion. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, "bowels" are frequently associated with deep emotional experiences. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/43-30.htm">Genesis 43:30</a>, Joseph's "bowels did yearn upon his brother" , indicating a profound emotional response upon seeing Benjamin. Similarly, in <a href="/isaiah/63-15.htm">Isaiah 63:15</a>, the prophet appeals to God, asking, "Where are Your zeal and Your might? Your tenderness and compassion are withheld from us" , where "tenderness and compassion" are linked to the concept of bowels, emphasizing God's deep emotional connection to His people. The use of "bowels" in the Old Testament often highlights the intensity of human emotions, such as love, compassion, and sorrow. In <a href="/lamentations/1-20.htm">Lamentations 1:20</a>, the author laments, "See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed" , where the distress is described as being felt in the bowels, underscoring the depth of the emotional turmoil. New Testament Usage In the New Testament, the Greek term "σπλάγχνα" is similarly used to convey deep emotions. In <a href="/philippians/1-8.htm">Philippians 1:8</a>, Paul writes, "For God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus" , where "affection" is translated from "σπλάγχνα," indicating a profound, Christ-like love and compassion. The concept of bowels as the seat of emotions is further illustrated in 1 <a href="/john/3-17.htm">John 3:17</a>, which states, "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" . Here, "pity" is derived from the idea of bowels, suggesting that true Christian love and compassion should be deeply felt and lead to action. Theological Implications The metaphorical use of "bowels" in Scripture underscores the biblical understanding of human emotions as integral to one's spiritual and moral life. It reflects the belief that emotions are not merely superficial feelings but are deeply rooted in the core of one's being, influencing actions and relationships. In a theological context, the use of "bowels" to describe God's compassion and mercy highlights the depth of His love for humanity. This is evident in passages like <a href="/colossians/3-12.htm">Colossians 3:12</a>, which exhorts believers to "put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience" , where "heart of compassion" is linked to the concept of bowels, encouraging Christians to emulate the deep, compassionate love of God in their interactions with others. Overall, the biblical use of "bowels" serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of genuine, heartfelt emotions in the life of faith, calling believers to embody the deep compassion and love exemplified by Christ.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(<a href="/philippians/1-8.htm">Philippians 1:8</a>; <a href="/philippians/2-1.htm">2:1</a>; <a href="/colossians/3-12.htm">Colossians 3:12</a>), compassionate feelings; R.V., "tender mercies." <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>BOWELSbou'-elz (me`ah, plural me`im, rechem, plural rachamim; splagchnion): (1) Literal: The literal meaning of these words is intestines, then the abdomen, the womb (matrix and uterus). As will be seen there is not much definiteness in the use of these expressions from the standpoint of physiology; but not less so than in modern oriental languages and even in many occidental languages, as popularly used. The remarkable phrases used in <a href="/2_chronicles/21-18.htm">2 Chronicles 21:18, 19</a>, "Yahweh smote him in his bowels" and "His bowels fell out by reason of his sickness," refer to a severe and fatal case of hemorrh oids. (2) Figurative: In figurative language these words denote deep emotions of various kinds. As in physiology we speak of the "nervus sympathicus," the ancients expressed by these terms "affection," "sympathy" and "mercy," feelings of distress and sorrow, as in <a href="/job/30-27.htm">Job 30:27</a> the King James Version; <a href="/lamentations/1-20.htm">Lamentations 1:20</a> the King James Version; <a href="/lamentations/2-11.htm">Lamentations 2:11</a> the King James Version. In one passage we have to translate me`im by "heart," being the seat of affection and devotion (<a href="/psalms/71-6.htm">Psalm 71:6</a>): "Thy law is within my heart" (<a href="/psalms/40-8.htm">Psalm 40:8</a>).
