5. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Bosom
   In the East objects are carried in the bosom which Europeans
   carry in the pocket. To have in one's bosom indicates kindness,
   secrecy, or intimacy (Gen. 16:5; 2 Sam. 12:8). Christ is said to
   have been in "the bosom of the Father," i.e., he had the most
   perfect knowledge of the Father, had the closest intimacy with
   him (John 1:18). John (13:23) was "leaning on Jesus' bosom" at
   the last supper. Our Lord carries his lambs in his bosom, i.e.,
   has a tender, watchful care over them (Isa. 40:11).
