Strong's Lexicon minleh: Fulfillment, completion Original Word: מִנְלֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָלָה (nalah), which is not widely attested in Hebrew but suggests a concept of completion or fulfillment. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for similar concepts is πληρόω (plēroō), which means to fill, fulfill, or complete. This is seen in passages like Matthew 5:17, where Jesus speaks of fulfilling the Law and the Prophets. Usage: The term "minleh" is used to convey the idea of something being brought to completion or fulfillment. It is often associated with the fulfillment of promises, prophecies, or tasks. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to the completion of God's plans or the fulfillment of His word. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of fulfillment was deeply tied to the covenantal relationship between God and His people. The fulfillment of God's promises was a central theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, reflecting God's faithfulness and sovereignty. The idea of completion also resonated with the cyclical nature of agricultural and religious life, where seasons and festivals marked the fulfillment of time and divine purposes.
