Strong's Lexicon raveh: Satisfied, saturated, refreshed Original Word: רֶוֶה Word Origin: From the root verb רָוָה (ravah), which means "to be saturated" or "to be filled." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of satisfaction and fulfillment can be related to Greek words such as πληρόω (plēroō - Strong's G4137), meaning "to fill" or "to make full." Usage: The Hebrew word "raveh" is used to describe a state of being fully satisfied or saturated, often in the context of being well-watered or refreshed. It conveys a sense of abundance and fulfillment, whether in a physical, emotional, or spiritual sense. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the satisfaction that comes from God's provision and blessings. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, essential for survival and prosperity. The imagery of being "saturated" or "well-watered" would resonate deeply with an audience familiar with the challenges of drought and the joy of abundant rainfall. This concept is often used in the Hebrew Bible to illustrate God's provision and the resulting satisfaction and prosperity of His people.
