Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּכָה (bakhah), meaning "to weep" or "to cry."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Bochim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Bochim is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a location where the Israelites wept after being rebuked by the Angel of the LORD. Context: Bochim is mentioned in the Book of Judges, specifically in Judges 2:1-5. The passage describes an event where the Angel of the LORD comes up from Gilgal to Bochim and delivers a message of rebuke to the Israelites for their disobedience and failure to fully drive out the inhabitants of the land as commanded by God. The Angel reminds them of the covenant and the consequences of their actions. In response to this divine message, the people of Israel weep and offer sacrifices to the LORD at this location, which is subsequently named Bochim, meaning "weepers." This event marks a significant moment of repentance and acknowledgment of their shortcomings before God. The exact geographical location of Bochim is not specified in the biblical text, and it is primarily recognized for its theological significance rather than its geographical details.
