Tender love— רחמים rachamim, Bowels of compassion. It has a like sense also at ch. Daniel 2:18. The word is of very strong import, and denotes a kind of parental compassion. St. Paul has an expression somewhat like it, if not stronger, in his epistle to Philemon, Daniel 1:12. "Receive him, that is mine own bowels." And we read of bowels of mercies, &c.
