What Original Readers Understood
Supported# H4357 (מִכְלָה) — Miklah: Perfection The Hebrew word *miklah* appears only once in the biblical text, making it a rare term in the Hebrew scriptures. According to the lexical data, it carries the meaning of "perfection"—suggesting a state of completeness or flawlessness. Its singular occurrence limits what can be determined about its typical usage patterns or theological range, but the definition itself points to a concept of wholeness or ideal completion. Because *miklah* appears in only a single biblical passage, its significance must be understood within that specific context rather than through comparison across multiple usages. The rarity of the term suggests it may have been a specialized or poetic word choice by its author, selected precisely to convey the notion of perfection in a particular moment. Without access to how it functions grammatically or what text it appears in, we can only affirm that the word denotes a positive state of complete or ideal condition, though its exact nuances and theological weight remain tied to its single attestation.
