Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4138: πληρόω (plēroō) • to fill, to make full, to complete.
• Strong's Greek Number 5479: χαρά (chara) • joy, delight, a state of gladness or satisfaction.

These Greek terms capture similar themes of fullness and satisfaction, often used in the New Testament to describe the joy and completeness found in Christ.

Usage: The term רְוָיָה is used in the context of being filled or satisfied, often in relation to abundance or fullness. It conveys a sense of overflowing or being thoroughly satisfied.

Context: רְוָיָה (revayah) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of satisfaction or fullness, often associated with abundance and prosperity. This term is used to express the idea of being thoroughly filled or saturated, whether it be with food, drink, or spiritual blessings. In the context of the Psalms, for example, it is used to describe the overflowing blessings and satisfaction that come from God's provision. The imagery often associated with רְוָיָה is that of a cup running over, symbolizing an abundance that exceeds mere sufficiency.

In Psalm 23:5, the psalmist declares, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." Here, the overflowing cup is a metaphor for the abundant blessings and satisfaction provided by God, illustrating the concept of רְוָיָה as a divine provision that surpasses basic needs.

The term is also used in a broader sense to describe the satisfaction and contentment found in a life lived in accordance with God's will, where spiritual and material needs are met in abundance. This reflects a theological understanding that true satisfaction comes from a relationship with God, who is the ultimate source of all blessings.
