Strong's Lexicon shillem: To repay, to recompense, to make restitution Original Word: שִׁלֵּם Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַם (shalom), which means to be complete, sound, or whole. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G591 (ἀποδίδωμι, apodidōmi) - to give back, to repay - G2675 (καταρτίζω, katartizō) - to restore, to mend Usage: The Hebrew verb "shillem" primarily conveys the idea of making restitution or repaying what is owed. It is often used in contexts involving compensation for loss or damage, fulfilling obligations, or making amends. The term underscores the importance of justice and fairness in interpersonal relationships, as well as the restoration of balance and harmony. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of restitution was integral to maintaining social order and justice. The Law of Moses provided detailed instructions on how to handle cases of theft, loss, or damage, emphasizing the need for offenders to make restitution to their victims. This principle reflects the broader biblical theme of justice and righteousness, where individuals are held accountable for their actions and are required to restore what has been wrongfully taken or damaged.
