κόλπος, ου, ὁ (Hom.+; ins, pap, LXX; TestSol 2:3 W; TestAbr; TestJob 10:4; JosAs ch. 11 cod. A [p. 52, 11 Bat.]; ApcSed 14:6; Philo, Joseph.) var. mngs. in gener. lit. usage, freq. w. suggestion of curvature and the hollow so formed, as of a person’s chest, folds in a garment or a bay of the sea; our lit. contains no application of the term to anatomical parts uniquely female.

① bosom, breast, chest ἀνακεῖσθαι ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ τινός lie (at a meal) w. one’s head on someone’s breast (a position dictated by ancient banqueting practice: s. ἀνάκειμαι 2) J 13:23. ἐν τοῖς κόλποις αὐτοῦ (=τοῦ Ἀβραάμ. In this case ἀνακείμενον is to be supplied) lying in Abraham’s bosom (in the place of honor at the banquet in the next world. On the pl. s. B-D-F §141, 5; Rob. 408; Theocr. 2, 120 and below; Plut., Cato Min. 775 [33, 4], cp. also Sb 2034, 11 ἐν κόλποις Ἀβρὰμ κ. Ἰσὰκ κ. Ἰακώβ) Lk 16:23. ἀπενεχθῆναι εἰς τὸν κ. Ἀβραάμ be carried to Abraham’s bosom vs. 22 (New Docs 3, 106f). The mng. lap is also poss. for κόλποι (Ael. Aristid. 13 p. 163 D.: ἐκ τῶν κόλπων τ. γῆς; Diog. L. 3, 44; Meleager, Anth. Pal. 5, 165 ἐν κόλποισιν ἐκείνης=lying on her lap; Anonymous Vita Pla. ed. Westerm. 1850 p. 5, 31 ἐντὸς κόλπων for 2, 44 ἐν τοῖς γόνασιν); the sing. in this sense: ἦλθεν εἰς τὸν κ. τῆς μητρός GJs 6:1 (Epict. 2, 5, 16; 4, 7, 24; Vi. Aesopi G 82; 137 P.; Ps.-Clem., Hom. 8, 12 [cp. Piers Plowman, version C 9, 283 ‘in Abrahammes lap’; PHaupt, AJP 42, 1921, 162–67; ESchwyzer, Der Götter Knie—Abrahams Schoss: JWackernagel Festschr. 1923, 283–93; MMieses, Im Schosse Abrahams: OLZ 34, ’31, 1018–21. Opposing him BHeller, ibid. 36, ’33, 146–49.—Rabb. in RMeyer, TW III 825]). ἐὰν ἦτε συνηγμένοι ἐν τῷ κ. μου if you are gathered in my bosom 2 Cl 4:5 (a saying of Jesus; cp. Judaicon 68, 41f twice). Furthermore, apart fr. the idea of dining together on the same couch, ‘being in someone’s bosom’ denotes the closest association (cp. Plut., Pericl. 1, 1, Demosth. 31, 6, Cato Min. 33, 7 Ziegler v.l.: Gabinius, an ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τῶν Πομπηί̈ου κόλπων; Longus, Past. 4, 36, 3; Num 11:12; Dt 13:7; 28:54, 56; 2 Km 12:3; 3 Km 17:19; Ruth 4:16): ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κ. τοῦ πατρός who rests in the bosom of the Father J 1:18 (M-EBoismard, RB 59, ’52, 23–39; OHofius, ZNW 80, ’89, 163–71).

② the fold of a garment, fold, formed as it falls from the chest over the girdle (Hom. et al.; Jos., Ant. 2, 273). Fr. early times (e.g. Od. 15, 468; Herodas 6, 102; Diod S 25, 16; Appian, Iber. 13 §49; Polyaenus 7, 48; 8, 64; Dio Chrys. 67 [17], 22; Ex 4:6f; Jos., Bell. 6, 195) this fold was used as a pocket. διδόναι τι εἰς τὸν κ. τινός put someth. into the fold of someone’s garment (cp. Polyb. 3, 33, 2; Ps 78:12; Is 65:6; Jer 39:18; TestJob 10:4 κόλπῳ κενῷ) Lk 6:38.

③ a part of the sea that indents a shoreline, bay (Hom. et al.; OGI 441, 218; Philo, Op. M. 113; Jos., Ant. 3, 25) Ac 27:39.—B. 39. DELG. M-M. TW.

ἀνάκειμαι impf. ἀνεκείμην (s. κεῖμαι; Pind., Hdt.+; ins, pap, LXX; TestJob 15:4 [for ἐνέκειντο]; ParJer 9:9 [of deceased Jer.]; Jos., Ant. 3, 38 al.; Ath. 37, 1 ἀνακείσθω … ὁ λόγος of Ath.’s apologetic statement ‘suffice, be concluded’), functions as pass. of ἀνατίθημι.

① gener. (opp. ἑστηκέναι, of one who appears to be dead ParJer 9:9) lie, recline Mk 5:40 v.l.; Hv 3, 12, 2. (Most ancient writers prefer κεῖμαι in this sense, s. Phryn. in 2.)

② otherw. always of reclining at table, equals dine (Aristot. and Diphilus [300 B.C.] in Athen. 1, 23c; Polyb. 13, 6, 8; 1 Esdr 4:11; for discussion on proper usage s. Phryn. 216f Lob. A character in a drama cited Ath. 1, 23c sarcastically asks in ref. to a banquet scene whether statues were being entertained on the couch.) αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ as he was dining in the house Mt 9:10.—26:7; Mk 14:18; 16:14; Lk 7:37 v.l. ἀ. μετά τινος Mt 26:20. σύν τινι J 12:2; ἀ. ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ τινός lean on someone’s chest=take the place of honor, if it was the chest of the head of the house 13:23 (cp. Lk 16:23, where sc. ἀνακείμενον [some mss. supply ἀναπαυόμενον]; Pliny, Epist. 4, 22, 4 cenabat Nerva cum paucis; Veiento proximus atque etiam in sinu recumbebat). ἐργάτας ἀνακειμένους GJs 18:2 (not pap) laborers reclining for dinner—ὁ ἀνακείμενος the one who is reclining, the guest Mt 22:10f; Mk 6:26 (v.l. συνανάκειμαι q.v.); Lk 22:27 (opp. ὁ διακονῶν); J 6:11; 13:28.—On the v.l. κατάκειμαι s.
