SIBI-P1 H4390-08

to make full

Rootמלא (m-l-ʾ)
Core Meaningsfullness, filling, completion, abundance, that which fills
Semantic Rangeto fill, to make full, to fill up completely, to complete, to fulfill, to consecrate (fill the hand), to satisfy, to accomplish, to bring to fullness
Conceptual SignificanceThe concept of fullness in Scripture often signifies completion of time, fulfillment of divine word, consecration for sacred service ("filling the hand"), or the abundance of blessing or judgment. The root ties physical fullness to theological themes of completion and fulfillment in covenantal history.
Morphological NotesVerb from root מלא in the Piel stem, infinitive construct (Vpc) with prefixed preposition לְ (“to”), indicating purpose or result; intensive/factitive nuance: to cause to be full.
Rendering RationaleThe root מלא conveys the state or act of fullness. In the Piel stem, the verb commonly carries an intensive or factitive sense, meaning to cause something to become full. As an infinitive construct with prefixed לְ, the form expresses purpose or result, thus "to make full," preserving both the root idea of fullness and the stem’s causative force.
