It is often used in the context of emotional relief or solace provided after a period of distress or grief. In the Hebrew Bible, it conveys the idea of being comforted by God or others, often in times of mourning or hardship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, comfort and consolation were significant aspects of community life, especially during times of mourning or national distress. The concept of "nocham" is deeply rooted in the communal and covenantal relationship between God and His people, where God is often depicted as the ultimate source of comfort. The Israelites believed in a God who is compassionate and who provides solace to His people, reflecting the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine care and intervention.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5162.htm">nacham</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sorrow, repentance<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>compassion (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">נֹ֫חַם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <em>sorrow, repentance</em>, <a href="/interlinear/hosea/13-14.htm">Hosea 13:14</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>repentance <p>From <a href="/hebrew/5162.htm">nacham</a>; ruefulness, i.e. Desistance -- repentance. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5162.htm">nacham</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>נֹ֖חַם נחם nō·ḥam Nocham nōḥam<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/hosea/13-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Hosea 13:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/hosea/13.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">קָֽטָבְךָ֙ שְׁא֔וֹל <b> נֹ֖חַם </b> יִסָּתֵ֥ר מֵעֵינָֽי׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/hosea/13.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> is your sting? <span class="itali">Compassion</span> will be hidden<br><a href="/kjvs/hosea/13.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> be thy destruction: <span class="itali">repentance</span> shall be hid<br><a href="/interlinear/hosea/13-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> destruction grave <span class="itali">repentance</span> will be hidden my sight<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5164.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5164.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5164<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/nocham_5164.htm">nō·ḥam — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/5163.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5163"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5163" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5165.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5165"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5165" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
