Strong's Lexicon teem: End, completion, perfection Original Word: טְעֵם Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַם (tāmam), which means "to be complete" or "to be finished." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is τέλειος (teleios), which also means "complete" or "perfect." This is seen in passages like Matthew 5:48, where Jesus says, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (BSB). Usage: The Hebrew word "teem" conveys the idea of something that is complete or perfect. It is often used in the context of describing the end of a process or the state of being whole. In the biblical context, it can refer to the completion of a task, the end of a period, or the perfection of a person or thing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completeness or perfection was significant in both religious and everyday life. The idea of being "whole" or "perfect" was not just about physical or material completeness but also about moral and spiritual integrity. The Hebrew people valued the notion of being blameless or upright before God, which is often associated with the root of this word.
