Strong's Lexicon tamam: To be complete, to be finished, to be perfect, to be consumed Original Word: תָּמַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5048 (τελειόω, teleioō) - to make perfect, complete - G5056 (τέλος, telos) - end, purpose, goal Usage: The Hebrew verb "tamam" primarily conveys the idea of completeness or perfection. It is used to describe something that is whole, finished, or brought to an end. In the context of moral or spiritual integrity, it can imply being blameless or upright. The term is often used in the context of God's work being complete or a person's life being lived with integrity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completeness or perfection was significant in both religious and social contexts. The idea of being "whole" or "perfect" was not just about moral purity but also about fulfilling one's purpose or role in the community and before God. The term "tamam" reflects a holistic view of life where spiritual, moral, and communal aspects are interconnected.
