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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">סַלּוּ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a priest, Zerubbabel's time</b></font>, according to <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12-7.htm">Nehemiah 12:7</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σαλονια</font>), = <font class="hebrew2">סַלַּי</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12-20.htm">Nehemiah 12:20</a> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σαλοναι</font>;
