Strong's Lexicon Kelach: Perfection, completion Original Word: כֶּלַח Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be complete or perfect. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of perfection is "τέλειος" (teleios), which appears in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 5:48 (BSB): "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Usage: The Hebrew word "Kelach" is used to denote a sense of completeness or perfection. It is often associated with the idea of something being whole or entire, lacking nothing. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to the perfection of God's creation or the completeness of His works. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of perfection was closely tied to the idea of wholeness and integrity. The Israelites viewed God as the ultimate source of perfection, and His laws and commandments were seen as a path to achieving completeness in life. The notion of perfection was not just about flawlessness but about fulfilling one's purpose and living in accordance with divine will.
