DefinitionShort: the region of the body extending from the breast to the legs, especially when a person is in a seated position
Glosses: ['bosom', 'lap']
Comments: The term κόλπος occurs in several idiomatic phrases in the NT. For example, the expression ‘who was in the bosom of the Father’ in {S:04300101800022} denotes an association of intimacy and affection (see {D:34.18}). In a context referring to the position of a person at a meal (as in {S:04301302300020}), κόλπος indicates an honored place (see {D:17.25}). In {S:04201602200028} κόλπος Ἀβραάμ signifies the heavenly abode (see {D:1.16}).

DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: Abraham’s bosom) the heavenly abode, with the implication of close interpersonal relations
Glosses: ['Abraham’s bosom', 'heaven']
Comments: A literal rendering of κόλπος Ἀβραάμ as ‘the bosom of Abraham’ or ‘the lap of Abraham’ is often misleading. In some languages it may even suggest homosexuality, and in other cases it implies that Lazarus was either a baby or was changed into a baby in heaven. Since κόλπος Ἀβραάμ is generally interpreted as a reference to the eschatological heavenly feast,{N:001} one may be justified in rendering {S:04201602200028} as in TEV ‘the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the feast in heaven.’ In some languages κόλπος Ἀβραάμ in this context is translated as ‘he was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side’ or ‘… to be with Abraham.’
