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)."
