Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root רָחַם (racham), which means "to have compassion" or "to show mercy."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G3628: οἰκτίρμων (oiktirmon) • compassionate, merciful
G4697: σπλαγχνίζομαι (splanchnizomai) • to have compassion, to be moved with compassion

These Greek terms reflect similar attributes of compassion and mercy, often used in the New Testament to describe the character of Jesus and the expected conduct of believers.

Usage: The word רַחְמָנִי is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals or God as possessing a compassionate nature. It emphasizes the attribute of mercy and kindness, often in the context of divine compassion towards humanity.

Context: רַחְמָנִי (rachmani) is a term that encapsulates the essence of compassion and mercy, attributes that are central to the character of God as depicted in the Hebrew Scriptures. The root רָחַם (racham) is frequently used to describe God's merciful actions towards His people, highlighting His willingness to forgive and restore. This attribute is not only ascribed to God but is also a desirable quality in human relationships, reflecting the divine nature in interpersonal interactions. The concept of compassion in the Hebrew Bible is deeply intertwined with covenantal love and faithfulness, where God’s compassion is seen as a response to the covenantal relationship with Israel. The term רַחְמָנִי, therefore, serves as a reminder of the call to emulate divine compassion in human conduct, fostering a community marked by mercy and kindness.
