a finished implement
| Root | כלה (k-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | to complete, finish, bring to an end, consume, bring to fulfillment |
| Semantic Range | implement, vessel, utensil, tool, weapon, article, container, instrument, equipment, ornament, furnishings |
| Conceptual Significance | כְּלִי highlights the idea of an object intentionally fashioned and completed for a specific function. In biblical contexts it can refer to everyday utensils, weapons of war, or sacred temple vessels—each emphasizing purposeful design and readiness for use, whether in common life, warfare, or worship. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (msa) and construct (msc) states. No pronominal suffix in the listed forms. Strong’s H3627. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כְּלִי derives from the root כלה, "to complete" or "finish," and thus denotes something brought to completion for a purpose—an implement or prepared article. The morphology (HNcmsa/c) identifies it as a masculine singular noun in either absolute or construct state, so the rendering preserves its singular form while reflecting its sense as a completed, functional object. |
