Strong's Lexicon kaleh: Completion, end, conclusion Original Word: כָּלֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb כָּלָה (kalah), meaning "to complete," "to finish," or "to bring to an end." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for the concept of completion is τελέω (teleo), Strong's Greek 5055, which also means "to complete" or "to finish." Usage: The Hebrew word "kaleh" is used to denote the concept of completion or the end of a process. It often signifies the conclusion of an event, task, or period. In the biblical context, it can refer to the completion of God's work, the end of a time of waiting, or the fulfillment of a prophecy. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completion was significant, as it often related to the fulfillment of God's promises or the end of a period of trial. The idea of bringing something to completion was not just about finishing a task but also about achieving a state of wholeness or perfection. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's redemptive plan coming to fruition. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom kalah Definition a failing NASB Translation yearn (1).
