sa.va denotes a condition or period of plentiful provision, especially the productive years before famine.

The attested use describes plentiful provision: chiefly the seven productive years in Egypt before famine, and also filled storehouses and vats. Ecclesiastes 5:11 places it in a setting where increased welfare brings more consumers rather than clear advantage to its owners.

1. Plentiful provision and productive conditions · dominant

   The noun occurs repeatedly in the account of Egypt's seven productive years: Genesis 41:29 announces seven years of great abundance, Genesis 41:34 concerns collecting a fifth during those years, and Genesis 41:47 says that the land produced in abundance. Genesis 41:30, Genesis 41:31, and Genesis 41:53 contrast or delimit this plentiful period against the famine that follows, while Proverbs 3:10 depicts storehouses filled and vats bursting with new wine. In Ecclesiastes 5:11 the same noun stands in a clause about increased welfare and multiplying eaters.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the setting with "abundance," including the seven years in Genesis and filled storehouses in Proverbs 3:10. In Ecclesiastes 5:11 it instead renders the verse with "welfare"; Its precise English correspondence there remains uncertain.
