A sister was listening to Jessie's sermon exposing the gap - the LORD helped her catch something that really opened up our understanding to this. All Glory to God!!!!

Lord I pray "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.Psalms 119:18" in humbleness and meekness.
How the KJV Bible defines the word "replenish". We compare scripture with scripture, nothing else! Remember is the law of first mention in the scriptures.
God will always explain His word either in the same verse or few verses next to it. Usually he does it first time when the word appears. Are only 7 verses in the Bible that uses the word replenish.
KJV Genesis 1:22 And God blessed them, saying,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and FILL the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Isaiah 2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
Isaiah 23:2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
Jeremiah 31:25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
Ezekiel 26:2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
Ezekiel 27:25 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
Webster 1828
REPLEN'ISH, verb transitive [Latin re and plenus, full.]
1. To fill; to stock with numbers or abundance. The magazines are replenished with corn. The springs are replenished with water.
Multiply and replenish the earth. Genesis 1:28.
2. To finish; to complete. [Not in use.]
REPLEN'ISH, verb intransitive To recover former fullness.
http://webstersdictionary1828.com/So God is showing me that my KJV Bibles defines the word replenish in 1611 as TO FILL. This is how I read it so far. I gave a chance to both side stories. I have read all scriptures by using the word replenish as to mean fill again. Then I used the same scriptures by using to mean to fill.

FYI - the number 7 means COMPLETENESS.
