Bosom
VIEW:17 DATA:01-04-2020
The nearest friend reclining on a couch at a feast lay in the bosom of his friend, as John "on Jesus' bosom" (Joh_13:23); Lazarus in Abraham's bosom, i.e. figuratively for in a high place at the heavenly banquet (Luk_16:23). It implies closest and secret intimacy (2Sa_12:8): the Son in the bosom of the Father with whom He is One (Joh_1:18); the lambs carried in the bosom of the Good Shepherd (Isa_40:11).

The Greek employs κόλπος, kólpos (Luk_6:38; Joh_13:23). For Abraham's bosom, see separate article.
Figurative: In a figurative sense it denotes intimacy and unrestrained intercourse (Gen_16:5; 2Sa_12:8); tender care and watchfulness (Isa_40:11); closest intimacy and most perfect knowledge (Joh_1:18); ?into their bosom? (Psa_79:12) indicates the bosom as the seat of thought and reflection.

It is usual with the Western Asiatics to carry various sorts of things in the bosom of their dress, which forms a somewhat spacious depository, being wide above the girdle, which confines it so tightly around the waist as to prevent anything from slipping through.
To have one in our bosom implies kindness, secrecy, intimacy (Gen_16:5; 2Sa_12:8). Christ is in the bosom of the Father; that is, possesses the closest intimacy with, and most perfect knowledge of, the Father (Joh_1:18). Our Savior is said to carry his lambs in his bosom, which touchingly represents his tender care and watchfulness over them.

Num_11:12 (a) This is a type of Moses' great heart of love. He complained that it was just too much for him to assume and carry the burdens of three and one-half million people as a mother carries a baby on her breast.
Isa_40:11 (a) This represents the daily care of GOD for the people of Israel, His own lambs.
Luk_6:38 (b) This is just a sweet way of saying that kindness known to those who have shown kindness fills the heart with sweet joy.
Joh_1:18 (a) CHRIST uses this figure to tell how near He is to GOD's heart and how welcome He is in GOD's presence.

Bosom
(properly חֵיק, cheyk, κόλπος). It is usual with the Western Asiatics to carry various sorts of things in the bosom of their dress, which forms a somewhat spacious depository, being wide above the girdle, which confines it so tightly around the waist as to prevent any thing from slipping through. Aware of this, Harmer and other Biblical illustrators rather hastily concluded that they had found an explanation of the text (Luk_6:38), " Good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom." All these expressions obviously apply, in the literal sense, to corn; and it is certain that corn and things measured in the manner described are never carried in the bosom. They could not be placed there, or carried there, nor taken out, without serious inconvenience, and then only in a small quantity. The things carried in the bosom are simply such as Europeans would, if in the East, carry in their' pockets. Yet this habit of carrying valuable property may indicate the origin of the image, as an image, into the bosom, without requiring us to suppose that every thing described as being given into the bosom really was deposited there. SEE DRESS.
To have one in our bosom implies kindness, secrecy, intimacy (Gen_16:5; 2Sa_12:8). Christ is in (εἰς, into) the bosom of the Father; that is, possesses the closest intimacy with, and most perfect knowledge of, the Father (Joh_1:18). Our Saviour is said to carry his lambs in his bosom, which touchingly represents his tender care and watchfulness over them (Isa_40:11). SEE ABRAHAMS BOSOM.
