to be sated
Strong's 1890 sometimes compressed multiple senses — or homonymous roots — under one number, and used 19th-century English phrasing that no longer carries the same connotation.

How translations render this word

Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).

Jastrow Dictionary

A second Hebrew/Aramaic lexicon for comparison, covering Aramaic and post-biblical (Talmudic, Targumic, Midrashic) usage that the biblical-Hebrew BDB does not. Matched by lemma rather than by Strong’s number, so a lemma may carry more than one Jastrow headword (shown separately below), and the entries cover usage well beyond the Bible.

  • (b. h.) lamb, young goat or young sheep. Bekh. I, 5 ר׳ א׳ מתיר בכלאים מפני שהוא שה R. El. permits the redemption of a first-born ass with a hybrid of goat and sheep, because it goes by the name of seh (complying with the law Ex. XIII, 13). Gen. R. s. 56 (ref. to Gen. XXII, 8) אלהים יראה לו השה בני ואם לאו אתה השה לעולה בני God will provide himself a lamb, my son, and if not, thou art the lamb for the offering, my son; Pesik. R. s. 40 יזמן קרבנו ואם לא שה לעולה בני he will prepare his sacrifice, and if not, my son be the lamb for the offering. Ib. שה לעולה סי לעילה לשון יונית (not חי) ‘seh for an offering’ is the Greek σέ (thee) for an offering. Bekh. 12ᵃ אביו שה its sire is a sheep. Ib. 7ᵃ שה מכל מקום a seh (young of sheep or of goats) under all conditions (even if it has the looks of an unclean animal). Pes. 118ᵃ בשֵׂיוֹ, v. עָנִי. B. Mets. 27ᵃ; a. v. fr. e.g. Exodus 13:13

Septuagint verse parallels

This word appears in 1 verse that also exists in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 1 Hebrew verse it occurs in. You can read those verses in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.

Read these verses in the Septuagint

This is a verse-level parallel only — the same verses exist in both the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments. No word-level Hebrew↔Greek correspondence is claimed: the data carries no such alignment, so no Greek word is shown as this Hebrew word’s translation. Coverage is not total — the Septuagint omits the deuterocanon and renumbers the Psalms, so some Hebrew verses have no direct Greek parallel.
