Strong's Lexicon soba: Abundance, fullness, satisfaction Original Word: שׂבַע Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂבַע (sava), meaning "to be satisfied" or "to have enough." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5526 (chortazo): To feed, to fill, to satisfy - G4137 (pleroo): To make full, to fill, to complete Usage: The Hebrew word "soba" primarily conveys the idea of fullness or satisfaction, often in the context of physical nourishment or abundance. It is used to describe a state of being well-fed or having plenty, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. The term can also imply contentment and a sense of being fulfilled. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "soba" was closely tied to the agrarian lifestyle. A good harvest leading to an abundance of food was seen as a blessing from God, reflecting His provision and favor. The Israelites understood physical abundance as a sign of divine blessing, and it was often associated with peace and prosperity in the land. The idea of satisfaction extended beyond physical needs to spiritual contentment, emphasizing reliance on God's provision.
