Strong's Lexicon kalil: Whole, entire, complete, perfect Original Word: כָּלִיל Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלַל (k-l-l), meaning "to complete" or "to perfect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "kalil," the concept of completeness or perfection can be related to Greek words such as τέλειος (teleios), meaning "perfect" or "complete." Usage: The Hebrew word "kalil" is used to denote something that is whole or complete. In the context of the Old Testament, it often refers to offerings that are entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing total dedication to God. The term can also imply perfection or completeness in a broader sense, reflecting the idea of something being without blemish or defect. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, offerings and sacrifices were central to religious practice. The concept of a "whole" or "complete" offering, as denoted by "kalil," was significant in demonstrating total devotion and surrender to God. Such offerings were seen as a way to atone for sin and seek favor from the Lord. The idea of completeness also extended to moral and spiritual integrity, reflecting the Israelites' understanding of holiness and righteousness.
