Mercy
"What is very interesting is that the singular for (rakham) looks identical to the word for “womb” (rekhem), which is in fact closely related. Hebrew is a very physical language, and concepts that may seem unconnected to us often share the same root…In ancient times in particular, if a woman was able to get pregnant and give birth, it meant that God had bestowed mercy on her and opened her womb (Luke 1:57-58)." https://www.beitariel.org/single-post/mercy-in-hebrew-thought Luke 1:57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy. KJV  Genesis 9 8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
