Strong's Lexicon sobah: Satisfaction, fullness, abundance Original Word: שֹׂבַע Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂבַע (sava), meaning "to be satisfied" or "to have enough." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5526 (chortazo): To be satisfied, to be filled - G4137 (pleroo): To fill, to make full, to complete Usage: The Hebrew word "sobah" primarily conveys the idea of being filled or satisfied, often in the context of food and drink, but it can also extend to a more general sense of abundance or contentment. It is used to describe both physical and spiritual satisfaction, reflecting a state of having one's needs or desires fully met. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "sobah" was closely tied to the agrarian lifestyle. A good harvest leading to plenty of food was seen as a blessing from God, and thus, "sobah" was often associated with divine provision and blessing. The Israelites understood satisfaction not just in terms of physical needs but also in spiritual terms, where true contentment was found in a right relationship with God.
