Strong's Lexicon methom: Wholeness, completeness, integrity Original Word: מְתֹם Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַם (tamam), which means "to be complete" or "to be finished." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of integrity or completeness is τέλειος (teleios), which also means perfect or complete. This is seen in the New Testament, where believers are called to be "perfect" as their Heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48). Usage: The Hebrew word "methom" conveys the idea of completeness or wholeness, often in a moral or ethical sense. It is used to describe a state of being that is unblemished or perfect, often in relation to one's character or moral standing. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to the integrity or uprightness of an individual. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of wholeness or integrity was highly valued, especially in relation to one's relationship with God and the community. The Hebrew understanding of integrity was not merely about external actions but also encompassed the inner moral and spiritual state of a person. This concept was integral to the covenant relationship between God and His people, where obedience and moral uprightness were seen as essential to maintaining favor with God.
