My people will be filled to the full with the good things I provide.”

Lukas 1:53

Lukas 9:17

9:17 They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over ¹⁰  was picked up – twelve baskets of broken pieces.

[107:9]  ¹ tn Heb “[the] longing throat.” The noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh), which frequently refers to one’s very being or soul, here probably refers to one’s parched “throat” (note the parallelism with נֶפֱשׁ רְעֵבָה, nefesh rÿ’evah, “hungry throat”).

[107:9]  ² tn Heb “and [the] hungry throat he has filled [with] good.”

[136:25]  ³ tn Heb “to all flesh,” which can refer to all people (see Pss 65:2; 145:21) or more broadly to mankind and animals. Elsewhere the psalms view God as the provider for all living things (see Pss 104:27-28; 145:15).

[145:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “the eyes of all wait for you.”

[145:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “and you give to them their food in its season” (see Ps 104:27).

[145:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “[with what they] desire.”

[31:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “I will satiate the priests with fat.” However, the word translated “fat” refers literally to the fat ashes of the sacrifices (see Lev 1:16; 4:2 and cf. BDB 206 s.v. דֶּשֶׁן 2. The word is used more abstractly for “abundance” or “rich food” (see Job 36:16 and BDB 206 s.v. דֶּשֶׁן 1). The people and the priests were prohibited from eating the fat (Lev 7:23-24).

[1:53]  ⁸ sn Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.

[1:53]  ⁹ sn Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20-26).

[9:17]  ¹⁰ sn There was more than enough for everybody, as indicated by the gathering of what was left over.
