A search in the Higher-Fire archives at

 http://eli.wariat.org/upc/net/higher-fire

...will reveal some recent, previous discussion on just this topic.
A look in a Hebrew lexicon will also reveal the meaning of the Hebrew
word which is translated into "replenish."

Bro Brown, whenever I try the "Web Glimpse" search, I always get:

 Glimpse error

 The search parameters caused an error in the call to Glimpse. 
 
 Please try your search again with different parameters. 

Any ideas?  This last time, I searched on the word "replenish" and
the "The neighborhood of this page" was set.
