Usage: The Hebrew verb "ravah" primarily conveys the idea of being saturated or filled to the point of satisfaction. It is often used in contexts related to drinking or being filled with abundance, whether it be water, food, or metaphorically, with blessings or joy. The term can also imply being drenched or thoroughly soaked, emphasizing a state of fullness or completeness.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, water was a precious resource, and the concept of being "saturated" or "filled" carried significant weight. The agrarian society of ancient Israel depended heavily on rain and water sources for survival, making the imagery of being "satisfied" or "drenched" particularly powerful. This term would resonate deeply with a people who understood the value of being fully provided for, both physically and spiritually.
