To quench one's thirst

To quench one's thirst

Satisfied his thirst. Satisfied his thirst (satisfied means to quench one's thirst or to drink until one feels satisfied. The original origin of the expression is in the verse of Proverbs 29:18: "Peace will be mine, for with the upliftedness of my heart I will go because of the lips that satisfy the thirst").

("Who has not come to this teaching to taste from the fountain of the world to come, but his soul is still thirsty and thirsty for God, and it has consumed him all day long, and he does not quench his thirst with the waters of the Torah that are before him? This is like one who stands in the river and cries out for water to drink" - Tanya Licotei Amarim, chapter 4, and so: "The many times Moses spent, we did not feel thirsty. In his visions, regarding the matter of Dinah, it seemed right to rely on the teaching of the Rabbi, the crown of the elders" - Blessings of Joseph, the life of Simeon Kaleh, and so: "Before the city was a city of graves, the land was filled with water, and there were animals, birds... coming and quenching their thirst" - Agnon/Takhreech Shel Sifurim, 9)
