SIBI-P1 H3605-35

to all, to the whole, to every

Rootכ-ל-ל (k-l-l)
Core Meaningscompleteness, wholeness, totality, perfection, fulfillment
Semantic RangeThe word encompasses 'all, every, any, the whole, entirety, everything, anything, howsoever, as many as, whatsoever.' It can function as a universal quantifier in both singular and plural senses, depending on context. It may denote completeness of a group, totality of an action, or comprehensiveness of a category.
Conceptual Significanceכֹּל represents a fundamental concept in Biblical Hebrew for expressing totality and universality. Its frequent use in legal, covenantal, and theological contexts emphasizes God's comprehensive authority and the all-encompassing nature of divine commands and promises. The word's prevalence reflects the Hebrew worldview's concern with wholeness and completeness in both material and spiritual domains.
Morphological NotesHR/Ncmsc: Preposition לְ (to/for) + masculine singular construct noun. The construct form indicates the word is bound to a following genitive noun. Strong's H3605 (כֹּל) occurs 237 times in this form, making it one of the most frequent constructions in Biblical Hebrew.
Rendering RationaleThe word כֹּל (kôl) derives from the root כלל (kalal), which denotes completion and wholeness. The morphology HR/Ncmsc indicates a masculine singular construct noun with the preposition לְ (to/for), making the rendering 'to all' or 'to the whole.' This preserves both the root's semantic emphasis on totality and the construct relationship that binds it to a following noun.
