SIBI-P1 H8537-04

in his blameless wholeness

Rootתמם (t-m-m)
Core Meaningscompleteness, wholeness, finishedness, integrity, blamelessness
Semantic Rangemoral integrity, innocence, blamelessness, simplicity, uprightness, completeness of character, prosperity arising from integrity
Conceptual Significanceתֹּם describes a state of undivided moral character before Elohim—wholeness rather than sinless perfection. It conveys covenantal integrity, a life aligned and complete in loyalty, often associated with the righteous who walk before YHWH without duplicity.
Morphological NotesNoun common masculine singular construct with 3ms pronominal suffix (תֻמּוֹ, "his completeness") preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in").
Rendering RationaleThe noun תֹּם (tôm) derives from the root תמם, expressing completeness or wholeness. The form is masculine singular with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his") and prefixed with בְּ ("in"), so "in his blameless wholeness" preserves both the root sense of moral completeness and the grammatical features of the form.
