Strong's Lexicon
tiklah: Value, worth, estimation

Original Word: תִּכְלָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: tiklah
Pronunciation: tik-LAH
Phonetic Spelling: (tik-law')
Definition: Value, worth, estimation
Meaning: completeness

Word Origin: Derived from the root קָלַל (qalal), which means "to be light" or "to be slight."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of value or worth is τιμή (timē), which also conveys the idea of honor or price.

Usage: The term "tiklah" is used to denote the concept of value or worth, often in the context of assessing the value of something, whether it be material goods, offerings, or even abstract concepts like wisdom or virtue. It reflects the idea of weighing or measuring the significance or importance of an item or action.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of value was integral to both economic and religious life. The valuation of goods, land, and even people (in terms of vows and dedications) was a common practice, often conducted by priests or elders. This valuation was not only economic but also carried spiritual significance, as offerings and sacrifices were assessed for their worthiness to be presented before God.
