Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root γεμ- (gem-), meaning "to fill" or "to be full."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek γεμίζω is conceptually related to several Hebrew words that convey the idea of filling or being full. Some corresponding Hebrew entries include:
• מָלֵא (male', Strong's Hebrew 4390): To fill, be full.
• שָׂבַע (sava', Strong's Hebrew 7646): To be satisfied, to have in abundance.

These Hebrew terms similarly express the idea of fullness and completion, often in the context of God's provision and blessing.

Usage: The verb γεμίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of filling or making something full. It is often used in the context of filling containers, spaces, or even metaphorically to describe the fulfillment of something.

Context: The Greek verb γεμίζω appears in several passages in the New Testament, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses. It is commonly used in the context of filling physical objects, such as containers or spaces. For example, in the account of Jesus calming the storm, the disciples' boat is described as being filled with water: "Soon a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping" (Matthew 8:24, BSB). Here, γεμίζω conveys the idea of the boat being filled to the point of being overwhelmed by the waves.

Another notable usage is found in the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand, where the disciples gather the leftover fragments: "And they picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish" (Mark 6:43, BSB). The baskets are filled with the remnants of the miraculous provision, demonstrating the abundance of God's provision.

Metaphorically, γεμίζω can also describe the fulfillment of prophecy or divine purpose. In the broader biblical narrative, the concept of being filled often carries connotations of completeness and abundance, reflecting God's ability to provide and fulfill His promises.
