whole ones of
| Root | תמם (t-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | completeness, wholeness, integrity, soundness, blamelessness |
| Semantic Range | whole, complete, intact, sound, blameless, upright, without blemish, possessing integrity |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical theology, תָּמִים describes moral and covenantal integrity—being wholly devoted and undivided before יהוה. It is used of unblemished sacrifices and of upright individuals, emphasizing completeness both in ritual fitness and ethical character. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural, construct (תְּמִימֵי), from תָּמִים. The construct form links it grammatically to a following noun, expressing "X of Y." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective תְּמִימֵי is masculine plural in the construct state, so the rendering must reflect plural masculine subjects and their relationship to a following noun. "Whole ones of" preserves the root sense of completeness and integrity (תמם) while clearly indicating a masculine plural construct form. |
