to make full
| Root | מלא (m-l-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | fullness, filling, completion, abundance |
| Semantic Range | to fill, to fill up, to make full, to fulfill, to complete, to consecrate (fill the hand), to accomplish, to satisfy |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of fullness in the Hebrew Bible encompasses physical filling, completion of time or tasks, fulfillment of words or promises, and consecration ("filling the hand" for priestly service). It expresses the movement from lack to completion, highlighting themes of divine provision, covenant fulfillment, and ordained purpose. |
| Morphological Notes | Piel infinitive construct of מלא with prefixed לְ ("to"). The Piel stem expresses an intensive or factitive action—causing something to become full or complete. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מלא conveys the state of being full or the act of filling. In the Piel stem, the verb takes on an intensive or factitive sense, meaning "to make full" or "to fill completely." The prefixed לְ marks the infinitive construct, so the rendering preserves the verbal idea "to make full" while reflecting the Piel stem’s causative-intensive force. |
