bosom in the Bible

In the ancient Near East objects were carried in the bosom, while today we them in pockets.

To have in one’s bosom indicates kindness, secrecy, or intimacy (Genesis 16:5; 2 Samuel 12:8). Christ is said to have been in “the bosom of the Father,” i.e., he had the most perfect knowledge of the Father, had the closest intimacy with him (John 1:18).

John (13:23) was “leaning on Jesus' bosom” at the last supper.

Our Lord carries his lambs in his bosom, i.e., has a tender, watchful care over them (Isaiah 40:11).
