Usage: The Hebrew verb "saba" primarily conveys the idea of being satisfied or filled, often in the context of food and drink, but it can also extend to other forms of satisfaction or fulfillment. It is used to describe both physical satiation and metaphorical contentment. The term can imply abundance and the state of having one's needs or desires fully met.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being satisfied was closely tied to God's provision and blessing. Agricultural abundance and the resulting satisfaction were seen as signs of divine favor. The Israelites understood satisfaction not only in terms of physical sustenance but also in spiritual and communal well-being. The idea of being "satisfied" was often linked to the covenant relationship with God, where obedience and faithfulness would lead to divine blessings, including material prosperity and peace.
