full
| Root | מלא (m-l-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | fullness, filling, completion, abundance |
| Semantic Range | Full, filled, replete, abundant; figuratively complete or satisfied; in some contexts idiomatically referring to pregnancy ("full" with child). |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of fullness in the Hebrew Bible often signifies divine blessing, abundance of the land, completeness, or the fullness of glory or presence. It can express both material plenty and spiritual or covenantal completeness. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular absolute form of מָלֵא (mâlêʾ). It agrees in gender and number with a feminine singular noun it modifies. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root מלא, conveying the state of being filled or complete. The form מְלֵאָה is feminine singular absolute, so the rendering "full" reflects a singular feminine noun described as being in a state of fullness, even though English does not overtly mark gender in adjectives. |
