wholeness
| Root | תמם (t-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | completeness, wholeness, finishedness, blamelessness, integrity |
| Semantic Range | completeness, moral innocence, integrity, blamelessness, uprightness, simplicity, prosperity (as a state of unharmed completeness) |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, תֹּם signifies an undivided heart and life before יהוה—an integrity that reflects covenant faithfulness. It describes not sinless perfection, but wholehearted alignment and moral soundness within the covenant relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular abstract noun (absolute state) from the root תמם, denoting a state or quality rather than an action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תֹּם derives from the root תמם, expressing completeness or being brought to full measure. As a masculine singular abstract noun in the absolute state, "wholeness" preserves both the singular form and the core idea of undivided, intact moral or personal integrity. |
