Berean Strong's Lexicon maklul: Perfection, completeness Original Word: מַכְלוּל Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלַל (k-l-l), which means "to complete" or "to perfect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is τέλειος (teleios), which also means "perfect" or "complete." This term is found in passages such as Matthew 5:48, where Jesus instructs His followers to "be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Usage: The term "maklul" is used to denote a state of being complete or perfect. It conveys the idea of something that has reached its full potential or intended purpose. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to the wholeness or integrity of an object, person, or action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completeness or perfection was closely tied to the idea of holiness and righteousness. The Hebrew people understood that God’s creation was initially perfect, and the pursuit of perfection was seen as aligning oneself with God’s will. The term "maklul" would have been used in religious and ceremonial contexts to describe offerings, sacrifices, or individuals who were considered whole or unblemished.
