BOWELS.The bowels are in Biblical language the seat of the emotions. Hence Psa_40:8 Thy law is in the midst of my bowels, i.e. the object of my deepest affection.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Bowels, including the heart, the seat of the affections and emotions. "My bowels are troubled for him," namely, with tender yearnings of compassionate love (Jer_31:20; Isa_63:15; Hos_11:8; Php_2:1).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
The bowels are the seat of mercy, tenderness, and compassion. Joseph's bowels were moved at the sight of his brother Benjamin; that is, he felt himself softened and affected. The true mother of the child whom Solomon commanded to be divided, felt her bowels move, and consented that it should be given to the woman who was not its real mother, 1Ki_3:26. The Hebrews also sometimes place wisdom and understanding in the bowels, Who hath put wisdom in the inner parts? or bowels, Job_38:36. The Psalmist says, Thy law is within my heart, literally, in the midst of my bowels,it is by me strongly and affectionately regarded, Psa_40:8.

bou?elz (מעה, mē‛āh, plural מעים, mē‛ı̄m, רחם, reḥem, plural רחמים, raḥămı̄m; σπλάγχνον, splágchnon):
(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 2Ch_21:18, 2Ch_21:19, ?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 Job_30:27 the King James Version; Lam_1:20 the King James Version; Lam_2:11 the King James Version. In one passage we have to translate mē‛ı̄m by ?heart,? being the seat of affection and devotion (Psa_71:6): ?Thy law is within my heart? (Psa_40:8). In the New Testament (Revised Version) the word is only given in Act_1:18.

Bowels are often put by the Hebrew writers for the internal parts generally, the inner man, and so also for heart, as we use that term. Hence the bowels are made the seat of tenderness, mercy, and compassion; and thus the Scriptural expressions of the bowels being moved, bowels of mercy, straitened in the bowels, etc. By a similar association of ideas, the bowels are also sometimes made the seat of wisdom and understanding (Job_38:36; Psa_51:10; Isa_16:11).

Gen_43:30 (b) The word is used to signify the innermost part of a person where the deepest feelings seem to lie. It is the same kind of expression as "from the depths of my heart."
Lam_1:20 (b) This refers to the deep trouble in his innermost soul. Because of Israel's condition, the very vitals of his life were touched.
Phi_1:8 (b) Here is a reference to the deepest Christian experience which Paul manifested in his earnest love for these Christians.
Phm_1:7 (b) The expression in this passage refers to a full-hearted joy which the saints experienced when Philemon ministered to them and brought a blessing from GOD to them.
1Jo_3:17 (b) Here the word is used to express feelings of sympathy, not on the surface, but deep in the heart. Much of so-called Christian living is a surface matter. The word "bowels" indicates in all these passages the very deepest feelings of the believer.
