Usage: The Hebrew verb "raavah" primarily conveys the idea of being saturated or filled to satisfaction, often in the context of drinking. It can also extend metaphorically to being satisfied or fulfilled in a broader sense. This term is used to describe both physical satiation, such as quenching thirst, and spiritual or emotional fulfillment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, water was a precious resource, and the concept of being fully satisfied with drink would resonate deeply with a people living in a largely arid region. The imagery of being filled or satisfied is often used in the Hebrew Bible to describe God's provision and blessing, contrasting the scarcity and want that could be common in the harsh environment of the ancient Israelites.
