The adjective describes vessels and dishes containing their stated offerings: in Numbers 7:13 the APB renders the silver dish and bowl as “filled with fine flour mixed with oil,” and in Numbers 7:14 it renders the gold dish as “filled with incense.” The same use extends to houses, fields, roads, and bodily features: Deuteronomy 6:11 has houses “full of every good thing,” 2 Kings 7:15 has a way “full of garments and articles,” and Ezekiel 1:18 has rims “full of eyes all around.”

Abundantly possessing a quality or condition · common
The term characterizes persons or entities by what they possess: Deuteronomy 34:9 says Joshua was “full of spirit of wisdom,” Deuteronomy 33:23 calls Naphtali “full of the blessing of the LORD,” and Ezekiel 28:12 describes the king of Tyre as “full of wisdom.” In Jeremiah 6:11, the supplied Qal perfect form occurs in the speaker's statement, “I am full of the rage of the LORD.”

Complete amount in a purchase · rare
In the purchase language of Genesis 23:9, the term qualifies the silver requested for the cave of Machpelah; the APB renders the clause “at full silver.” David uses the same wording when requesting and then insisting on payment for Ornan's threshing floor in 1 Chronicles 21:22 and 1 Chronicles 21:24.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB commonly uses “full,” “filled,” or “full of,” while purchase clauses are rendered “full silver.” It also varies with the verse's phrasing, such as “sated with favor” in Deuteronomy 33:23; these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
