Strong's Lexicon millu: Fullness, consecration, setting (of stones) Original Word: מִלֻּא Word Origin: Derived from the root מָלֵא (male'), meaning "to fill" or "to be full." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "fullness" in the New Testament is often captured by the Greek word πλήρωμα (plērōma), Strong's Greek #4138, which conveys the idea of completeness or fulfillment, particularly in relation to the fullness of Christ and the Church. Usage: The term "millu" primarily refers to the concept of "fullness" or "completeness." In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is often associated with the consecration or ordination of priests, indicating the filling of hands with offerings or the act of dedicating someone or something to a sacred purpose. It can also refer to the setting of stones, as in the completion or adornment of a structure. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "fullness" was significant in religious and ceremonial contexts. The ordination of priests involved a ritual "filling" of their hands with sacrificial offerings, symbolizing their complete dedication to God's service. This act of consecration was essential for maintaining the holiness and order of the priesthood, which played a central role in the spiritual life of the Israelite community. The setting of stones, another usage of "millu," reflects the importance of craftsmanship and beauty in the construction of sacred spaces, such as the Tabernacle and the Temple.
