Strong's Lexicon revayah: Overflow, abundance, saturation Original Word: רְוָיָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רָוָה (ravah), meaning "to be saturated" or "to be filled." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4052 (περισσεύω, perisseuō) - to abound, to overflow - G4137 (πληρόω, plēroō) - to fill, to make full Usage: The Hebrew word "revayah" conveys the idea of an overflowing abundance or saturation. It is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe a state of being filled to the point of overflowing, particularly with blessings, joy, or prosperity. This term emphasizes the completeness and sufficiency provided by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of abundance was closely tied to agricultural prosperity and divine blessing. A land flowing with milk and honey, abundant harvests, and overflowing wine vats were seen as signs of God's favor. The imagery of overflowing abundance would resonate deeply with an agrarian society that depended on the land's yield for survival and well-being.
