Character of God: Compassion

in Bible Basics

When God reveals who he is to Moses in Exodus 34:6-7, the very first word he uses to describe himself is the Hebrew word rakhum. “Yahweh, Yahweh, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, overflowing with loyal-love and faithfulness.” This verse is the most quoted and reused verse in the Hebrew Bible. So the question is, why does God refer to himself first with the word compassionate? What is the significance?

These study notes will help you dig deeper into the Hebrew word rakhum and see the ideas presented in our video Character of God: Compassion.
