Berean Strong's Lexicon tam or tammah: Complete, blameless, perfect, upright Original Word: תַּם or תַּמָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַם (tamam), meaning "to be complete" or "to be finished." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5046 (τέλειος, teleios) - meaning complete, perfect, mature - G273 (ἄμεμπτος, amemptos) - meaning blameless, faultless Usage: The Hebrew word "tam" or "tammah" conveys the idea of completeness, integrity, and moral uprightness. It is often used to describe a person who is blameless or perfect in their conduct and character. This term is not necessarily about sinless perfection but rather about sincerity, wholeheartedness, and a life aligned with God's standards. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, being "tam" was highly valued as it denoted a person who lived in accordance with God's laws and was faithful in their relationship with Him. This concept was integral to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where moral and ethical integrity was expected of God's people. The idea of being blameless or upright was not just about external adherence to laws but also about internal purity and devotion.
