The plural noun ra‧chamim′ denotes “pity,” “mercies,” or “inward emotions.” (Ge 43:14, 30; 1Ch 21:13; Ps 40:11; see MERCY.) In Greek, the verb splag‧khni′zo‧mai means “be moved with pity or compassion,” “have or feel pity.” This term is drawn from the noun splag′khna, literally meaning “intestines.” (Ac 1:18) Since strong emotions can have an effect on the abdominal area of the body, the Greek noun splag′khna is often used to denote “tender affections,” or “tender compassions.
