It is often associated with the idea of something being whole or entire, lacking nothing. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to the perfection of God's creation or the completeness of His works.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of perfection was closely tied to the idea of wholeness and integrity. The Israelites viewed God as the ultimate source of perfection, and His laws and commandments were seen as a path to achieving completeness in life. The notion of perfection was not just about flawlessness but about fulfilling one's purpose and living in accordance with divine will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/3624.htm">kelach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a city in Assyr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Calah (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II.
