It can also mean to meet a longing. Interpretation: Tradition sees God as the one who truly satisfies every living thing, and reads "satisfy with long life" as a reward for trust in Him. In the primary lessons: In maths, "find the value of x that satisfies x + 3 = 7" means find the number that makes it true (x = 4). In everyday life, a good meal satisfies hunger; a good answer satisfies a curious friend. In stories, "curiosity was satisfied" means the character finally found out. Phrases: satisfy your curiosity, satisfy the rules. ### examples - Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, (Writings JOB.38.39, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/satisfy/#x1) - With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'
