It is often used metaphorically to denote the place of origin or the source of life. The term is also associated with the concepts of compassion and mercy, reflecting the nurturing and protective nature of the womb.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the womb was seen as a sacred space, a symbol of life and fertility. It was revered as the place where God's creative power was most evident, as He formed and knew each person even before birth. The ability to bear children was highly valued, and the womb was often associated with blessings and divine favor. The concept of the womb also extended to the idea of God's compassion and mercy, as the nurturing aspect of the womb was seen as a reflection of God's care for His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7356.htm">racham</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>compassion<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">רַחֲמִין</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine] plural intensive</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>compassion</b></font> (Biblical Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">רַחֲמִים</font>, √ I. <font class="hebrew2">רחם</font>); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ר</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-18.htm">Daniel 2:18</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>mercy <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7356.htm">racham</a>; (plural) pity -- mercy. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7356.htm">racham</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְרַחֲמִ֗ין ורחמין verachaMin wə·ra·ḥă·mîn wəraḥămîn<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/daniel/2-18.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 2:18</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> וְרַחֲמִ֗ין </b> לְמִבְעֵא֙ מִן־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> so that they might request <span class="itali">compassion</span> from the God<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> That they would desire <span class="itali">mercies</span> of<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-18.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">compassion</span> request according<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7359.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7359.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7359<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/verachamin_7359.htm">wə·ra·ḥă·mîn — 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/7358.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7358"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7358" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7360.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7360"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7360" /></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>
