- אָכַל ʼâkal · H398 · to eat, to make (someone) eat, to give (someone) to eat
- Hebrew אָכַל (ʼâkal, H398) ('consume/devour') is the primary semantic equivalent for Greek ἀναλίσκω (analískō, G355) ('to use up/destroy'), sharing the core sense of consumption or destruction through use, frequently rendered this way in LXX contexts involving fire consuming offerings or judgment.
- כָּלָה kâlâh · H3615 · to be finished, to be completed, to come to an end
- Both denote consumption/destruction leading to complete ending or exhaustion of the object, with כָּלָה (kâlâh, H3615) encompassing a broader semantic range (accomplish, finish, fail, expire) while ἀναλίσκω (analískō, G355) focuses specifically on the destructive consumption sense that uses something up completely.
