re.va.yah denotes a state of plenty, pictured in a full cup and in deliverance into abundance.

The two verses present re.va.yah as plenty: Psalm 23:5 places it in the image of a cup overflowing, while Psalm 66:12 names the outcome of being brought out after passing through fire and water.

Senses in use

  1. Plenty after distress or in overflowing provision · dominant

    Both occurrences use the same feminine singular absolute noun. In Psalm 23:5, it stands in the clause whose APB rendering culminates, “my cup overflows”; in Psalm 66:12, after going through fire and water, the APB renders the outcome as being brought “out into abundance.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the two clauses through “my cup overflows” in Psalm 23:5 and “out into abundance” in Psalm 66:12. These render the clauses rather than isolating the noun in each case.
