Strong's Lexicon mestoó: To fill, to make full, to fulfill Original Word: μεστόω Word Origin: From the Greek word μεστός (mestos), meaning "full" or "filled." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of fullness in Hebrew is often represented by words like מָלֵא (male'), which also means to fill or to be full. This Hebrew term is used in contexts such as the earth being filled with the glory of the Lord (Isaiah 6:3). Usage: The verb μεστόω (mestoó) is used to describe the action of filling something to its full capacity. In the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of being filled with a particular quality or substance, such as joy, knowledge, or the Holy Spirit. It implies a state of completeness or abundance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of fullness was often associated with abundance and prosperity. The idea of being filled was not only physical but also metaphorical, relating to the fullness of life, wisdom, or spiritual blessings. In Jewish thought, fullness could also relate to the fulfillment of God's promises and the coming of the Messiah.
