Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be complete or perfect.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word כֶּלַח (Kelach), as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term כֶּלַח (Kelach) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the city of Calah, one of the prominent cities built by Nimrod in the land of Assyria. Context: • Kelach (Calah): Calah is an ancient city mentioned in the Bible, located in the region of Assyria. It is one of the cities founded by Nimrod, as recorded in Genesis 10:11-12: "From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah." The city is noted for its historical significance in the Assyrian Empire, serving as a major center of power and culture. Archaeological evidence suggests that Calah is identified with the site of modern-day Nimrud, situated on the Tigris River. The city played a crucial role in the expansion and administration of the Assyrian Empire, particularly during the reigns of notable kings such as Ashurnasirpal II and Shalmaneser III. Calah's strategic location and its development into a fortified city underscore its importance in ancient Near Eastern history.
