Strong's Lexicon kalal: To complete, perfect, finish, accomplish Original Word: כָּלַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5048 (τελειόω, teleioō): To make perfect, complete - G5055 (τελέω, teleō): To finish, complete, accomplish Usage: The Hebrew verb "kalal" primarily conveys the idea of completion or perfection. It is used to describe the act of bringing something to its intended end or state of wholeness. This can refer to the completion of a task, the perfection of a skill, or the fulfillment of a purpose. The term can also imply the act of adorning or making something beautiful, as in the sense of perfecting or enhancing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completion and perfection was significant, often associated with the fulfillment of God's promises and the realization of His plans. The idea of perfection was not merely about flawlessness but about reaching a state of maturity or fullness. This concept is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where God is seen as the one who perfects and completes His work in them.
