Berean Strong's Lexicon miklah: Completion, enclosure, or full measure. Original Word: מִכְלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלָה (kalah), meaning "to complete" or "to finish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of completion or fulfillment is τελείωσις (teleiosis), Strong's Greek #5050, which also conveys the idea of bringing something to its intended end or purpose. Usage: The term "miklah" is used to denote a sense of completion or enclosure. It can refer to something that is brought to its full measure or a space that is enclosed or completed. The word carries the connotation of something that is whole or entire, often used in contexts where completeness or fulfillment is emphasized. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completion was significant, often associated with the fulfillment of God's promises or the completion of a task or period. Enclosures, such as those for livestock or property, were common in agrarian societies, symbolizing protection and provision. The idea of completion also ties into the Sabbath, a day of rest marking the completion of the creation week.
