SIBI-P1 H7646-52
they will be filled to satisfaction
| Root | שׂבע (ś-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | fullness, satiation, sufficiency, satisfaction, abundance |
| Semantic Range | to be full, to be satiated with food, to have enough, to be content, to be abundantly supplied, to be weary from excess |
| Conceptual Significance | שׂבע often expresses covenantal blessing—being filled with provision from YHWH’s hand. It can denote physical satiation (food, drink) or figurative fullness (joy, goodness, years of life), highlighting divine provision and the state of sufficiency that comes from Him. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine plural from שׂבע. The form expresses incomplete or future action: "they will be satisfied" or "they shall become full." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שׂבע conveys the idea of being filled to the point of fullness or satiation. Rendering it as "they will be filled to satisfaction" preserves the imagery of fullness inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural form ("they will"), indicating a simple future or incomplete action performed by them. |
