finished implements of
| Root | כלה (k-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | completion, finishing, bringing to an end, consuming, bringing to fulfillment |
| Semantic Range | vessels, utensils, tools, weapons, containers, garments, equipment, articles, objects prepared for use |
| Conceptual Significance | כְּלִי emphasizes the idea of an object brought to completion for a specific function. In biblical theology, such "implements" often relate to worship (tabernacle vessels), warfare (weapons), or daily life, highlighting the purposeful design and consecrated use of what has been brought to its intended completion. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine plural construct (HNcmpc) from כְּלִי; construct state indicates it governs a following noun ("implements of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כְּלִי derives from the root כלה, "to complete" or "bring to an end," and refers to something brought to completion—an article or implement prepared for use. The form here is masculine plural construct ("implements of"), so the rendering preserves both the plural number and the construct relationship while reflecting the root idea of something finished or prepared. |
