SIBI-P1 H7646-05

they were filled-to-satisfaction

Rootשבע (ś-b-ʿ)
Core Meaningsfullness, satiation, sufficiency, satisfaction, abundance
Semantic Rangeto be full, be sated, have enough, be satisfied, have abundance, be weary of (figuratively, from excess)
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb often marks the experience of divine provision or fulfilled desire, highlighting themes of covenant blessing, abundance, and the contrast between lack and sufficiency. It can also signal spiritual complacency when fullness leads to forgetfulness of dependence on God.
Morphological NotesQal perfect, 3rd person common plural. The Qal stem expresses the simple stative/resultative sense "to be sated, to be full." The perfect form denotes a completed state: "they were/they have been satisfied."
Rendering RationaleThe root שבע conveys the idea of being filled to the point of sufficiency or satiation. Rendering it as "they were filled-to-satisfaction" preserves the imagery of fullness inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the Qal perfect 3rd common plural form: a completed action performed by "they."
