H1879 H1879
fat, rich, vigorous; full of sap or oil
This adjective evokes abundance and vitality. It describes bread as 'rich' from fertile soil (Isa 30:23), the righteous as trees 'full of sap' and flourishing (Ps 92:14), and 'the prosperous of earth' who bow before God (Ps 22:29). The Spanish rico and French gras ('fatty, rich') highlight the sense of prosperity and well-nourished vigor. BDB suggests it may denote fullness of oil or sap, aligning with the image of verdant, well-fed life.
