and she filled full

Rootמלא (m-l-ʾ)
Core Meaningsfullness, filling, completion, wholeness, fulfillment
Semantic Rangeto fill, make full, fill up, fulfill, complete, replenish, satisfy, accomplish, consecrate (fill the hand), bring to fullness
Conceptual SignificanceThe concept of fullness in biblical thought often signifies completion, sufficiency, or fulfillment of purpose—whether filling a vessel, completing time, or fulfilling a word. The verb מלא frequently marks moments where emptiness is replaced with abundance or divine intention reaches its intended fullness.
Morphological NotesConjunction waw with Piel imperfect 3rd feminine singular (vav-consecutive form). The doubled ל indicates the Piel stem, giving an intensive or factitive sense: "she made full."
Rendering RationaleThe root מלא conveys the idea of fullness or making something full. In the Piel stem, it often carries an intensive or factitive sense, meaning "to make full" or "to fill completely." The waw-consecutive imperfect 3rd feminine singular form is reflected by "and she," preserving both the narrative sequence and feminine singular subject.
