Abraham's BosomLu 16:22,23 refers to the custom of reclining on couches at
table, which was prevalent among the Jews, an arrangement which
brought the head of one person almost into the bosom of the one who
sat or reclined above him. To "be in Abraham's bosom" thus meant to
enjoy happiness and rest Mt 8:11 Lu 16:23 at the banquet in
Paradise.
