Genesis 43:30 (b) The word is used to signify the innermost part of a person where the deepest feelings seem to lie. It is the same kind of expression as "from the depths of my heart."

Lamentations 1:20 (b) This refers to the deep trouble in his innermost soul. Because of Israel's condition, the very vitals of his life were touched.

Philippians 1:8 (b) Here is a reference to the deepest Christian experience which Paul manifested in his earnest love for these Christians.

Philemon 1:7 (b) The expression in this passage refers to a full-hearted joy which the saints experienced when Philemon ministered to them and brought a blessing from GOD to them.

1 John 3:17 (b) Here the word is used to express feelings of sympathy, not on the surface, but deep in the heart. Much of so-called Christian living is a surface matter. The word "bowels" indicates in all these passages the very deepest feelings of the believer.
