These Greek terms share a similar semantic range with the Aramaic מְלָא, emphasizing the concept of filling or completing something, whether it be a physical object, a period of time, or a divine purpose.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of filling or being full, often in a metaphorical sense, such as fulfilling a purpose or completing a task.

Context: The Aramaic word מְלָא (melā') is a verb that appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in sections written in Aramaic. It is derived from the Hebrew root מָלֵא (male'), which carries the primary meaning of "to fill" or "to be full." In the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, such as the books of Daniel and Ezra, מְלָא is used to convey the idea of filling up or completing something. This can refer to physical filling, such as filling a vessel, or more abstract concepts, such as fulfilling a prophecy or completing a period of time. The term is often used in a figurative sense to describe the fulfillment of divine plans or the completion of decrees. For example, in the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe the fulfillment of visions and the completion of God's purposes.
