Strong's Lexicon kelulah: Completion, perfection, entirety Original Word: כְּלוּלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלַל (kalal), which means "to complete" or "to perfect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of completeness or perfection is τελειότης (teleiotes), Strong's Greek #5047, which also conveys the idea of maturity and fulfillment. Usage: The term "kelulah" is used to convey the idea of something that is complete or perfect. It often refers to the state of being whole or entire, without lacking any part. In the context of biblical usage, it can denote the idea of spiritual or moral completeness, as well as the fulfillment of a process or purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completeness or perfection was significant in both religious and social contexts. The idea of being whole or perfect was often associated with holiness and righteousness. The Hebrew people understood that God’s creation was initially perfect, and the pursuit of spiritual completeness was a key aspect of their faith journey. The term "kelulah" would have resonated with the Israelites as they sought to live in accordance with God's laws and achieve a state of spiritual maturity.
