Word Origin: A primary verb

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of fullness in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Hebrew words, such as:

• מָלֵא (male') • Strong's Hebrew 4390: A verb meaning to fill, be full, or fulfill. This term is used extensively in the Old Testament to describe both literal and figurative fullness.

• שָׂבַע (sava') • Strong's Hebrew 7646: A verb meaning to be satisfied or filled, often used in the context of eating or being satiated.

These Hebrew terms capture similar ideas of fullness and completion, reflecting the thematic continuity between the Old and New Testaments regarding the concept of being filled or full.

Usage: The verb γέμω is used in the New Testament to describe a state of being filled or full, often in a literal sense, such as vessels or spaces being filled with contents.

Context: The Greek verb γέμω appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of fullness or being filled. It is a term that is often used in a literal context, describing physical objects or spaces that are filled to capacity. This verb is distinct from other Greek terms that may describe fullness in a metaphorical or spiritual sense, focusing instead on tangible, observable fullness.

In the Berean Standard Bible, γέμω is used in contexts such as:

• Matthew 23:25: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence." Here, γέμω is used metaphorically to describe the inner moral state of the Pharisees, indicating a fullness of negative qualities.

• John 21:11: "So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn." In this passage, γέμω is used literally to describe the net being filled with fish, emphasizing the abundance of the catch.

The use of γέμω in the New Testament underscores the concept of abundance and completeness, whether in a physical or moral sense. It highlights the contrast between external appearances and internal realities, as seen in the rebuke of the Pharisees, and it also illustrates the miraculous provision, as in the account of the large catch of fish.
