Context: שִׂבְעָה (sib'ah) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to denote a state of satisfaction or fullness, typically in relation to food. The concept of satiety is significant in biblical literature, often symbolizing God's provision and blessing. For instance, in contexts where God promises abundance to His people, the idea of being satisfied or full is a recurring theme. This term underscores the physical and spiritual nourishment provided by God, reflecting His care and generosity.
