In down-to-earth Hebrew, to meditate is to chew one's cud.
The familiar cattle of Hebrew existence proved a helpful image for the devout believer "whose delight is the law of the Lord and who ponders God's law day and night" (Psalm 1).
The browsing come nibbles constantly at the lush pasture and when it has filled its stomach lies down, regurgitates what it has gathered and chews "meditatively" on its cud until the cud is fully assimilated.
