Topical Lexicon

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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of satiety in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Greek terms in the New Testament that convey similar meanings of satisfaction and fullness. These include:

• Strong's Greek Number 5526 (χορτάζω, chortazo): To feed, to fill, to satisfy.
• Strong's Greek Number 4137 (πληρόω, plēroō): To fill, to make full, to complete.
• Strong's Greek Number 1072 (γεμίζω, gemizō): To fill, to be full.

These Greek terms capture the essence of being filled or satisfied, paralleling the Hebrew concept of שָׂבְעָה (sabeaʿ) in the context of God's provision and the resulting contentment.

Usage: The term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition of being filled or satisfied, particularly with food or material abundance. It conveys the idea of having one's needs met to the point of contentment.

Context: שָׂבְעָה (sabeaʿ) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with the blessings of God in providing for His people. It is used to describe the physical satisfaction that comes from eating and being filled, as well as a metaphorical sense of contentment and abundance. For example, in the context of divine provision, it reflects the idea that God supplies the needs of His people, leading to a state of satisfaction and peace. This term underscores the biblical theme of God's provision and the resulting contentment that comes from trusting in His sufficiency.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of satiety is illustrated in passages that speak of God's provision and the resulting satisfaction. For instance, in Psalm 16:11, the psalmist expresses confidence in the fullness of joy found in God's presence, which can be seen as a form of spiritual satiety. Similarly, in Psalm 63:5, the psalmist declares, "My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods," highlighting the deep contentment found in communion with God.
