Strong's Lexicon atam: To be complete, to be finished, to be consumed Original Word: אָטַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek New Testament, the concept of completion can be related to Greek words such as "τελέω" (teleo - Strong's Greek 5055), which means to complete or finish. Usage: The Hebrew verb "atam" primarily conveys the idea of completion or being finished. It is used to describe the state of being consumed or brought to an end. This term can be applied in various contexts, such as the completion of a task, the end of a process, or the consumption of resources. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Hebrew context, the concept of completion was significant in both religious and everyday life. The completion of a task or process often signified fulfillment of duty or divine purpose. In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, the idea of consuming resources until they were finished was a common experience, reflecting the cycles of planting and harvest.
