These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with ἐμπίπλημι, emphasizing the concepts of fullness and satisfaction, both physically and spiritually, as seen throughout the biblical narrative. Usage: The verb ἐμπίπλημι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of filling or satisfying, often in the context of physical or spiritual fulfillment. Context: The Greek verb ἐμπίπλημι appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of filling or satisfying a need or desire. It is often used in contexts where physical hunger or thirst is met, but it can also extend to spiritual or emotional fulfillment. This term underscores the completeness and sufficiency of the provision being described.
In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐμπίπλημι is used in passages that highlight God's provision and the satisfaction of needs. For example, in Luke 1:53, it is written, "He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty." This verse illustrates the divine reversal where God satisfies the needs of the humble and hungry, contrasting with the emptiness of those who are self-sufficient.
The use of ἐμπίπλημι in the New Testament often carries a deeper theological significance, pointing to God's ability to meet not only physical needs but also the deeper spiritual hunger of humanity. It reflects the biblical theme of God's abundant provision and care for His people.
