Genesis 43:14

May Almighty God (El Shaddai) grant you eternal grace (boundless mercy) before that man [who is Joseph—still hidden from them], so that he may release your other brother [Simeon, see Gen. 42:19, 36] and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved (deprived of my children), I am bereaved (deprived)." [Jacob trusts that God's will shall be done, see 2 Kings 7:4; Est. 4:16.]
[This is the first time the Hebrew word rachamim appears in the Old Testament. It means eternal grace, unlimited mercy, boundless compassion, infinite compassion. When the word is in the plural, there is no beginning and no end, it is impossible to count, it has no limitations. Hence translations that express this in various ways with adjectives such as eternal, infinite, boundless, etc. The main meaning of the word is mercy, but Hebrew has five different roots for this word. This particular root emphasizes that mercy means compassion, sympathy, and compassion.
Rachamim also shares its root with the word for womb, rechem. This gives the grace in this expression an additional dimension of being nurturing and protective, in the same way that the womb is the protection of the small, helpless, and defenseless child. Just as the unborn child is also completely dependent on the umbilical cord for nourishment, this word for grace also has a dimension that shows that we are completely dependent on God's eternal grace in order to even survive! This gives mercy, compassion, and pity much deeper dimensions than general goodwill.]
