The Torah repeatedly commands us to cultivate compassion, mercy, tenderness, and empathy. &#8211; Torah Parallels to \u201cPut On Bowels of Mercy\u201d &#8211; God\u2019s Own Compassion (Exodus 34:6\u20137), This is the Torah\u2019s foundational revelation of God\u2019s character. Compassion Toward the Stranger (Exodus 22:21; 23:9), The Torah repeatedly commands compassion toward the outsider. Compassion Toward the Poor and Vulnerable (Deut. 15:7\u201311), The Torah commands us to open their hand and heart. This is \u201cbowels of mercy\u201d in action, mercy that flows from the inner being into concrete kindness. Compassion Toward Animals (Deut. 22:6\u20137; 25:4), The Torah even commands mercy toward animals, showing that compassion is a character posture, not just a social rule. Compassion as the Proper Way to Apply Torah (Deut. 10:18\u201319), God defends the fatherless, widow, and stranger, and we must imitate Him. The Hebrew Word Connection: Rachamim (Mercy), the Greek phrase in Col. 3:12 (\u201cbowels of mercy\u201d) corresponds to the Hebrew rachamim. The Torah uses this root repeatedly to describe God\u2019s compassion and the compassion Israel must imitate. &#8211; Context Synthesis &#8211; Paul is not inventing a new ethic, he is summarizing the Torah\u2019s compassion ethic and telling believers to \u201cput it on\u201d like clothing, the same metaphor the Torah uses for holiness, obedience, and covenant identity. The Torah teaches: God is compassionate, we must imitate that compassion, Compassion must flow from the inner being, Compassion governs how Torah is applied. Paul simply internalizes and universalizes this Torah principle. This is how Paul taught Torah in the NT, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visual Summary of Concepts the Torah in the NT<a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-679.png\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-680.png\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-681.png\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-682.png\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-683.png\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-684.png\"><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" data-id=\"24299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-1024x559.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-1024x559.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-200x109.png 200w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-1536x838.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-2048x1117.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-770x420.png 770w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-696x380.png 696w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Episode-685-1068x583.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; #Torah Concept in the NT: Put On Bowels of Mercy &#8211; Episode 685 Colossians 3:12 \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b5\u05df \u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05b6\u05bc\u05dd, \u05db\u05b4\u05bc\u05d1\u05b0\u05d7\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05e7\u05b0\u05d3\u05d5\u05b9\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd, \u05dc\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc \u05d7\u05b6\u05de\u05b0\u05dc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e8\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05bc\u05e0\u05b0\u05d3\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05dc\u05b5\u05d1, \u05e0\u05b0\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05db\u05d5\u05bc\u05ea \u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7 \u05d5\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e0\u05b8\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b9\u05e8\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05d0\u05b7\u05e4\u05b7\u05bc\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth Colossians 3:12 3:12 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24300,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[361,352,362,360],"class_list":{"0":"post-24298","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video","9":"tag-biblicalmercy","10":"tag-paulandtorah","11":"tag-rachamiminaction","12":"tag-torahcompassion"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24298"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24301,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24298\/revisions\/24301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
