Berean Strong's Lexicon melo: Fullness, that which fills, abundance, multitude Original Word: מְלֹא Word Origin: Derived from the root מָלֵא (male), meaning "to fill" or "to be full." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4138 (πλήρωμα, pleroma) - often used in the New Testament to convey the idea of fullness or completeness, as seen in Colossians 2:9: "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form." Usage: The Hebrew word "melo" primarily denotes the concept of fullness or that which fills a space or measure. It is often used to describe the abundance or completeness of something, whether it be physical, such as the fullness of the earth, or metaphorical, such as the fullness of time or blessings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of fullness was significant in both religious and everyday contexts. The idea of fullness often related to God's provision and blessing, as seen in the land's produce or the people's prosperity. The term also carried eschatological implications, pointing to the fulfillment of God's promises and the coming of His kingdom.
