Strong's Lexicon miklal: Perfection, completeness, entirety Original Word: מִכְלָל Word Origin: Derived from the root כל (kalal), meaning "to complete" or "to perfect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for the concept of completeness or perfection is τέλειος (teleios), which appears in the New Testament in passages like Matthew 5:48, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Usage: The Hebrew word "miklal" conveys the idea of completeness or perfection. It is used to describe something that is whole or entire, lacking nothing. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to the state of being complete or perfect in a moral, physical, or ceremonial sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of completeness or perfection was significant in various aspects of life, including religious practices, moral conduct, and physical wholeness. The idea of being "whole" or "perfect" was often associated with fulfilling the commandments of God and living a life that was pleasing to Him. This concept was not only about moral or ethical perfection but also about being in a state of ritual purity and readiness to serve God.
