Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
חֹ֫צֶן noun masculine bosom; — חָצְנִי נָעַרְתִּי Neh 5:13 I shook out my bosom (the bosom of my garment); וְהֵבִיאוּ בָּנַיִךְ בְּחֹ֫צֶן Isa 49:22 and they shall bring thy sons in the bosom (i.e. in the arms, clasped to the bosom, like infants; || עַלכָּֿתֵף).
