A solemn fast, and repentance of the people4. The Levites make a confession of God's goodness, and their wickedness But in Your great compassion This phrase highlights the central theme of God's mercy and loving-kindness. Throughout the Old Testament, God's compassion is a recurring theme, especially in His dealings with Israel. Despite their repeated disobedience, God continually shows mercy. This compassion is rooted in His covenantal love, as seen in Exodus 34:6-7, where God describes Himself as "compassionate and gracious." The Hebrew word for compassion, "racham," is often associated with a deep, tender love, akin to a mother's love for her child.
