be full, fill; fulfill, complete; satisfy; follow fully; set/inlay
A root expressing fullness in physical, temporal, and metaphorical domains. In its Qal stative form it means 'be full'—the earth is full of violence, the house full of glory. The Piel actively fills something: God commands humanity to fill the earth, Elisha's servant fills jars with water. But the root extends to abstract completion: fulfilling promises, completing periods of time (Rachel's bridal week, seventy years of captivity). There's a specialized idiom for following God fully (literally 'filling after'), used of Caleb's wholehearted devotion. A technical sense appears in jewelry contexts: setting or inlaying precious stones. Even satisfaction of appetite uses this root—filling hunger. The 250 occurrences trace how Hebrew speakers conceived fullness and completion as unified concepts.
9. sense 9 — Uncertain single attestation in Job 20:22: 'In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in straits.' The phrase 'fullness of his sufficiency' (bemelo sifko) is difficult—whether this is a nominal form ('fullness') or a verbal sense is debated. Translation traditions vary widely. The hapax prevents confident classification, though it seems to describe a state of abundance or fullness rather than an action of filling. 1×

2. be full (stative) — The Qal stative describes being in a state of fullness—filled with something. With 49 occurrences, this corresponds to Arabic امتلأ/مَلِيء, Korean 가득하다/차다, Swahili -jaa. The earth is 'full of violence' in Noah's day (Gen 6:13), the temple becomes 'full of the glory of the LORD' (2 Chr 5:13), the house is 'full of people' (Judg 16:27). Unlike the causative sense which requires an agent filling something, this stative simply describes the resulting state of fullness. 49×

3. fulfill, complete (purpose/time) — Temporal and promissory completion—fulfilling oaths, completing periods, bringing purposes to term. This appears 43 times, matching Arabic أَتَمَّ/تَمَّ (complete/fulfill), Korean 성취하다/이루다, Swahili -timiza. When 'her days to give birth were completed' (Gen 25:24), when Jacob asks Laban to 'fulfill her week' of bridal celebration (Gen 29:27-28), when Jeremiah prophesies 'when seventy years are completed' for Babylon (Jer 25:12). The sense extends physical filling to temporal and covenantal fulfillment—bringing time or promise to fullness. 43×

4. become filled (passive/middle) — The Niphal passive or middle: being filled or becoming full as an event one undergoes. Forty-two occurrences correspond to Arabic امتلأ/يمتلئ (Form VIII reflexive), Korean 차다/채워지다, Swahili -jazwa/-jaa. The earth 'was filled with violence' (Gen 6:11), Egypt's houses 'were filled' with swarms (Exod 8:21), the Israelites 'filled the land' by multiplication (Exod 1:7). This grammatical voice focuses on the recipient or location receiving fullness rather than the agent causing it. 42×

5. fill (Qal transitive) — Qal used transitively—active filling where Qal carries transitive force rather than stative meaning. Thirteen attestations show this grammatical pattern with Arabic مَلَأَ, Korean 채우다, Swahili -jaza. Elijah commands 'Fill four jars with water' (1 Kgs 18:34), Elisha instructs the widow 'fill all these vessels' (2 Kgs 4:6), the psalmist prophesies God will 'fill the world with corpses' (Ps 110:6). This overlaps semantically with the Piel but uses Qal morphology, possibly representing an archaic or dialectal pattern. 13×

6. fully follow (devotion) — The idiom 'mille acharei' (fill after) means to follow fully or be wholly devoted—appearing five times. This matches Arabic اتَّبَعَ (follow completely), Korean 충실히 따르다, Swahili -fuata kikamilifu. God commends Caleb because 'he has followed me fully' (Num 14:24, 32:11-12; Deut 1:36), and Solomon 'did not follow fully' as David did (1 Kgs 11:6). The metaphor of 'filling after' someone beautifully captures wholehearted, unreserved allegiance—filling the space behind them as a devoted follower. 5×

7. set, inlay (gems) — A specialized technical sense in jewelry contexts: to set or inlay precious stones into settings or mountings. Three occurrences match Arabic رَصَّعَ/ترصيع (set/inlay gems), Korean 박히다. Bezalel is skilled 'in setting stones' for the priestly garments (Exod 31:5, 35:33), and the beloved's hands are described poetically as 'set with jewels' (Song 5:14). This technical usage shows semantic extension from filling space to filling settings with stones—the jeweler 'fills' the mounting. 3×

8. satisfy (appetite/desire) — To satisfy appetite, hunger, or desire—filling as satiation. Two attestations correspond to Arabic يُشْبِعُ, Korean 배를 채우다, Swahili -tosheleza. God challenges Job 'Can you satisfy the appetite of the young lions?' (Job 38:39, literally 'fill the soul of the lions'), and Proverbs observes men don't despise a thief who steals 'to satisfy his appetite when hungry' (Prov 6:30). The sense extends physical filling to the satisfaction of need or craving. 2×

10. sense 10 — Another single attestation in Jer 4:5: 'Proclaim, make it heard, fill/blow the trumpet' (literally 'fill voice' or 'at full voice'). Some translations see this as an idiom for proclaiming loudly or blowing the shofar forcefully. Korean renders this as 'a plena voz' (at full voice), suggesting loudness. The unique construction makes it unclear whether this is a distinct sense or an extension of the filling metaphor to vocal volume. 1×

11. sense 11 — Final hapax in Job 16:10: 'They have gaped at me with their mouth...they gather themselves together against me.' The phrase translated 'gather themselves' uses a Hithpael form that could mean 'they fill themselves' or 'they mass together.' Swahili renders this as 'filling' (reflexive), suggesting the mob 'fills itself' or masses together. The unique form and context make confident classification difficult—it may extend the filling metaphor to crowd aggregation. 1×
