Senses in use

  1. Being filled or satisfied · dominant

    The adjective marks a condition of fullness across varied clauses. In 1 Samuel 2:5 the APB renders those formerly supplied with food as “sated with food”; in Genesis 25:8 it renders Abraham as “full” in the statement of his death, and in Deuteronomy 33:23 it presents Naphtali as supplied with favor and the LORD’s blessing. The same fullness is applied to adverse circumstances in Job 10:15 and Job 14:1, while Proverbs 27:7 contrasts a person who is full with a hungry person.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously uses “sated,” “full,” “satisfied,” and “full of days” in these verses. These renderings confirm the verses’ broader presentation of fullness rather than establishing separate lexical meanings.
