ra.vah describes bringing people, land, or a weapon to fullness, from refreshment and abundance to being filled with blood or drink.

The attested uses chiefly describe bringing a person or desired object to fullness or refreshment; they also portray land, a sword, and bitter drink as saturated or filled. In two clauses, the same fullness-related action is expressed in connection with tears and sacrificial fat.

1. Satisfying or refreshing persons · dominant

   Piel and Hiphil forms occur where people seek or receive fullness: Proverbs 5:19 has a Piel jussive in the appeal concerning love, Proverbs 7:18 a Qal cohortative inviting a full enjoyment of love, and Proverbs 11:25 a Hiphil active participle describing the person who refreshes others. In Jeremiah 31:14 and Jeremiah 31:25, first-person forms occur in promises concerning priests, the weary soul, and the languishing soul; the APB renders these clauses with "satisfy" and "filled."

2. Filling or saturating with liquid · common

   In Isaiah 34:5 and Jeremiah 46:10, feminine perfect forms are used of a sword in clauses that the APB renders as "quenched" in heaven and "drink its fill" of blood. Isaiah 34:7 similarly speaks of land in relation to blood, while Isaiah 55:10 places a Hiphil perfect in the rain-and-snow clause about watering the earth; Lamentations 3:15 uses a Hiphil perfect in the statement about being made to drink wormwood.

3. Fullness in tears and sacrificial provision · rare

   Isaiah 16:9 uses a first-person Piel imperfect in the speaker's lament over Jazer, Heshbon, and Elealeh, where the APB renders the clause "I will quench your tears." Isaiah 43:24 uses a second-person Hiphil perfect in the contrast between not providing cane or fat from sacrifices and causing service and weariness; the APB's wording indicates a fullness-related contribution, though its precise English correspondence is less certain.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses the APB uses such wording as "quenched," "satisfy," "filled," "refreshes," and "drink its fill." These are renderings of whole clauses, so individual English choices do not by themselves fix the term's sense.
