Usage: The term שִׁלֵּם is used in the context of making amends or providing recompense, often in relation to fulfilling obligations or settling accounts.

Context: The Hebrew word שִׁלֵּם (shillem) is a verb that conveys the idea of making restitution or providing recompense. It is closely related to the concept of justice and fairness, where an individual is required to make amends for a wrong or fulfill a duty. This term is rooted in the broader Hebrew concept of שָׁלוֹם (shalom), which encompasses peace, completeness, and wholeness. In the biblical context, שִׁלֵּם often appears in legal or covenantal settings, where it underscores the importance of maintaining balance and rectifying any breaches in relationships or agreements.

The usage of שִׁלֵּם can be seen in various passages where the principle of restitution is emphasized. For example, in the context of the Mosaic Law, individuals were required to make restitution for theft or damage, ensuring that justice was served and relationships were restored. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's desire for His people to live in harmony and integrity, both with Him and with one another.

The concept of requital is not only limited to human interactions but also extends to the divine-human relationship. God Himself is portrayed as one who recompenses, rewarding the righteous and punishing the wicked, thus maintaining moral order in the universe.
