Transliteration: korennumi
Pronunciation: ko-ren'-noo-mee
Phonetic Spelling: (kor-en'-noo-mee)
Definition: To satisfy, to fill, to satiate
Meaning: I fill, sate, glut, feed full, satisfy.

Word Origin: Derived from a primary word (koros) meaning "to satiate" or "to fill."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of satisfaction or being filled is שָׂבַע (saba, Strong's Hebrew 7646), which also means to be sated or satisfied, particularly with food.

Usage: The Greek verb κορεννύμι (korennumi) is used to convey the idea of being filled or satisfied, often in the context of food or drink. It implies a state of contentment or fullness, where one's needs or desires have been completely met. In the New Testament, it is used to describe physical satisfaction, such as being filled with food, but can also extend metaphorically to spiritual satisfaction.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of being satisfied or filled was often associated with hospitality and the provision of food. Meals were central to social and religious life, and the ability to satisfy guests was a mark of generosity and abundance. In Jewish culture, the idea of being filled also had spiritual connotations, as seen in the provision of manna in the wilderness, which was both a physical and spiritual sustenance.
