Berean Strong's Lexicon milleth: To fill, to fulfill, to complete Original Word: מִלֵּת Word Origin: Derived from the root מָלֵא (male'), meaning "to fill" or "to be full." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament is πληρόω (plēroō), which also means "to fill" or "to fulfill." This term is used in contexts such as the fulfillment of prophecy (e.g., Matthew 5:17). Usage: The Hebrew verb "milleth" is used to convey the act of filling or completing something. It often implies bringing something to its intended fullness or completion. In a biblical context, it can refer to fulfilling a promise, completing a task, or filling a space or role. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "filling" or "fulfilling" carried significant weight. It was not merely about physical fullness but often had spiritual or covenantal implications. For example, fulfilling a vow or promise was a serious commitment, reflecting one's faithfulness and integrity. The idea of completion also ties into the broader biblical theme of God's plans and purposes being brought to fruition.
