Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of רָוָה in the Septuagint and the New Testament is often associated with Strong's Greek Number G3184 (μεθύω, methyō), which means to be drunk or to drink freely. While the Greek term primarily refers to intoxication, it shares the underlying concept of being filled or saturated, similar to the Hebrew רָוָה.

Usage: The verb רָוָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of quenching thirst or being fully satisfied with drink. It can be used both literally, in the context of drinking water or other liquids, and metaphorically, to describe satisfaction or fulfillment.

Context: רָוָה (ravah) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often conveying the idea of being fully satisfied or quenched. This term is used in both physical and metaphorical senses. For instance, in Psalm 36:8, it is used to describe the abundance and satisfaction found in God's presence: "They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights." Here, the imagery of drinking deeply from a river signifies spiritual fulfillment and joy. In Isaiah 55:10, the word is used in the context of rain watering the earth, illustrating the nourishing and life-giving properties of water: "For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat." The concept of רָוָה is integral to understanding the biblical portrayal of God's provision and the satisfaction found in Him.
