It is often used metaphorically to express deep compassion and mercy, akin to the tender care a mother has for her child. This word underscores the intimate and protective nature of God's love and mercy towards His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the womb was seen as a sacred space, the source of life and continuity for the family and community. The concept of "rachamah" extends beyond the physical to embody the emotional and spiritual nurturing that is essential for human relationships. The Hebrew understanding of compassion is deeply tied to familial bonds and the covenant relationship between God and Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/7358.htm">rechem</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>damsel <p>Feminine of <a href="/hebrew/7356.htm">racham</a>; a maiden -- damsel. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7356.htm">racham</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>רַחֲמָתַ֙יִם֙ רחמתים ra·ḥă·mā·ṯa·yim rachamaTayim raḥămāṯayim<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/judges/5-30.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Judges 5:30</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/judges/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שָׁלָ֗ל רַ֤חַם <b> רַחֲמָתַ֙יִם֙ </b> לְרֹ֣אשׁ גֶּ֔בֶר</span><br><a href="/kjvs/judges/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> a damsel <span class="itali">[or] two;</span> to Sisera<br><a href="/interlinear/judges/5-30.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> A spoil A damsel <span class="itali">two</span> every warrior<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7361.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7361.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7361<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/rachamatayim_7361.htm">ra·ḥă·mā·ṯa·yim — 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/7360.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7360"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7360" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7362.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7362"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7362" /></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>
