This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the fulfillment of God's plans and the completion of Jesus' work on the cross (e.g., John 19:30).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "gemar" conveys the idea of bringing something to completion or finishing a task. It is used in contexts where an action or process is brought to its intended conclusion. This term emphasizes the fulfillment or completion of an endeavor, often with a sense of finality or accomplishment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of completion was significant, as it often related to fulfilling God's commandments, completing a covenant, or bringing a project to fruition. The idea of finishing what one starts is deeply rooted in the Hebrew mindset, reflecting a commitment to perseverance and faithfulness. The completion of tasks was often seen as a reflection of one's character and dedication to God's will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1584.htm">gamar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to complete<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>perfect (1).<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> [<font class="hebrew2">גְּמַר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>complete</b></font> (often <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac; rare Biblical Hebrew); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pe`al</b></font> <em>Passive participle</em> <font class="hebrew2">גְּמִיר</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-12.htm">Ezra 7:12</a> as adjective <em>perfect</em> (read perhaps <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שְׁלָם ג</font>, Torrey Berthol; compare <a href="/interlinear/ezra/5-7.htm">Ezra 5:7</a>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>perfect <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1584.htm">gamar</a> -- perfect. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1584.htm">gamar</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>גְּמִ֖יר גמיר gə·mîr geMir gəmîr<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/7-12.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 7:12</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אֱלָ֧הּ שְׁמַיָּ֛א <b> גְּמִ֖יר </b> וּכְעֶֽנֶת׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of heaven, <span class="itali">perfect</span> [peace].
