23.17 · Physiological Processes and States · Eat, Drink
Collocation: ἐμπί(μ)πλημι · ἐμπιπλάω
to satisfy with food, to fill with food (two different forms of the same base, compare 23.18) to cause someone to be satisfied as the result of food which has been provided in sufficient quantity It is possible that in LUK 1:53 the reference is to God’s providence in general rather than merely to feeding the hungry.
A strictly literal rendering of ἐμπίμπλημι or ἐμπιπλάω in the sense of ‘to fill with food’ might carry the wrong implication, namely, ‘to stuff with food’ to the point of making someone extremely uncomfortable. It may therefore be important to divide somewhat the complex semantic components of meaning and to translate ‘to cause to eat much and to become happy’ or ‘to cause to eat enough and as a result to be content.’
