wholeness
| Root | שלם (sh-l-m) |
| Core Meanings | wholeness, completeness, soundness, well-being, restoration |
| Semantic Range | peace (absence of conflict), well-being, welfare, health, prosperity, safety, harmony, completeness, covenantal peace, greeting or farewell formula |
| Conceptual Significance | שָׁלוֹם expresses the covenant ideal of life as whole, ordered, and flourishing under YHWH’s blessing. It encompasses relational harmony with God and others, material and physical well-being, and communal stability—signifying not merely quiet but restored and sustained completeness. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix. Functions as a concrete or abstract noun depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁלוֹם derives from the root שלם, which conveys completeness and soundness. Rendering it as "wholeness" preserves the root idea of being whole or intact rather than merely the absence of conflict. The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so the English rendering reflects a singular abstract noun without suffixes. |
