Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂבַע (sāḇaʿ), which means "to be satisfied" or "to be full."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G3182 (μεστός, mestos): Meaning "full" or "filled," often used in the New Testament to describe being filled with something, such as joy or the Holy Spirit.
G4134 (πλήρης, plērēs): Meaning "full" or "complete," used to describe fullness in various contexts, including spiritual fullness.
G4140 (πληθύνω, plēthynō): Meaning "to multiply" or "to increase," often used in the context of increasing or abounding in number or quantity.

These Greek terms reflect similar themes of fullness and abundance found in the Hebrew concept of שָׂבָע (sāḇāʿ), highlighting the continuity of this idea across both Testaments.

Usage: The term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of satisfaction or abundance, particularly in relation to food and sustenance. It is often associated with God's provision and blessings.

Context: The Hebrew noun שָׂבָע (sāḇāʿ) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing the theme of divine provision and the resulting satisfaction. It is frequently used in poetic and wisdom literature to illustrate the contrast between the righteous, who experience God's abundance, and the wicked, who face scarcity. For example, in Proverbs 13:25, "The righteous eat to their hearts' content, but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry." This term underscores the biblical principle that true satisfaction and abundance come from God. In Psalms, it is often used to express gratitude for God's generous provision, as seen in Psalm 16:11, "You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." The concept of שָׂבָע (sāḇāʿ) extends beyond physical nourishment to encompass spiritual fulfillment and contentment found in a relationship with God.
