Berean Strong's Lexicon Calluw: Completion, end, destruction Original Word: כַּלּוּ Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Calluw Pronunciation: kal-loo' Phonetic Spelling: (sal-loo') Definition: Completion, end, destruction Meaning: Sallu, Sallai Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלָה (kalah), meaning "to complete" or "to finish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is τελέω (teleo), which also means "to complete" or "to finish." Usage: The Hebrew word "Calluw" is used to denote the concept of completion or the end of something. It can also imply destruction, particularly in the context of divine judgment or the fulfillment of a prophetic word. The term is often used in the context of God's actions, whether in bringing something to completion or in executing judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completion was significant, often associated with the fulfillment of God's promises or the execution of His judgments. The idea of completion is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where God promises to bring His plans to fruition. The term "Calluw" reflects the Hebrew understanding of time and events as being under divine control, with God as the ultimate arbiter of beginnings and endings.
