Context: The Aramaic verb שְׁלַם (shelam) is closely related to the Hebrew concept of שָׁלוֹם (shalom), which encompasses peace, completeness, and welfare. In the Biblical context, שְׁלַם is used to describe actions that lead to restoration or completion. This can refer to the restoration of relationships, the completion of a task, or the fulfillment of a promise. The term is often found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where it conveys the idea of bringing something to its intended state of wholeness or peace.

For example, in the book of Daniel, the term is used in the context of restoring or completing decrees and edicts. In Ezra, it is used to describe the completion of the temple in Jerusalem, highlighting the fulfillment of God's promises and the restoration of worship.

The concept of שְׁלַם is integral to understanding the Biblical narrative of redemption and restoration. It reflects God's desire to bring His creation back to a state of harmony and completeness, ultimately pointing to the Messianic hope of ultimate restoration and peace.
