Piel רִחַם, inf. רַחֵם, fut. יְרְחֵם to behold with tenderest affection, to compassionate, followed by an acc. Exodus 33:19; Deuteronomy 13:18, 30:3 followed by עַל Psalms 103:13 used of the love of parents towards their children, Psa. loc. cit.; Isaiah 49:15 and of the compassion of God towards men, Psalms 116:5.
