SIBI-P1 H7999-08

to make whole in repayment

Rootשלם (sh-l-m)
Core Meaningswholeness, completeness, soundness, peace, restitution, repayment
Semantic Rangeto repay, recompense, make restitution, fulfill, complete, restore, perform, bring to an end, establish peace
Conceptual SignificanceThe concept of שלם underlies biblical ideas of shalom—peace as wholeness and restored harmony. In legal and covenantal contexts, "repayment" is not merely financial but the restoration of balance and integrity within the community, reflecting YHWH’s concern for justice that makes relationships whole again.
Morphological NotesPiel infinitive construct of שָׁלַם with prefixed לְ preposition (“to/for”). The Piel stem intensifies or factitively expresses the action: to make complete, repay, or restore.
Rendering RationaleThe root שלם conveys the idea of wholeness or completeness, from which meanings like peace and restitution flow. In the Piel stem, the verb takes on an intensive or factitive sense—"to make whole" or "to restore fully." As an infinitive construct with the prefixed לְ, it expresses purpose or result: "to make whole in repayment," preserving both the root concept of wholeness and the intensive verbal force.
