Original Word: שָׂבֵעַ
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: sabea`
Pronunciation: sah-VAY-ah
Phonetic Spelling: (saw-bay'-ah)
Definition: Satisfied, full, sated
Meaning: satiated

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂבַע (sava), meaning "to be satisfied" or "to be full."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5526 (chortazo): To feed, to fill, to satisfy

- G1705 (empiplemi): To fill, to satisfy

Usage: The Hebrew word "sabea" is used to describe a state of being satisfied or full, often in the context of physical nourishment or abundance. It conveys a sense of contentment and fulfillment, whether in terms of food, wealth, or spiritual satisfaction. The term can also imply a sense of being satiated to the point of not desiring more.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, being "sabea" was often associated with God's provision and blessing. The agrarian society of the Israelites placed a high value on the harvest and the ability to provide for one's family. Thus, being full or satisfied was not only a physical state but also a sign of divine favor and prosperity. In a broader sense, it also reflected the spiritual satisfaction that comes from a relationship with God, who is seen as the ultimate provider.
