- כָּלָה (kâlâh, H3615) כָּלָה denotes completion with emphasis on bringing to cessation or exhaustion (often destructive completion—'consume, destroy utterly'); συντελέω (synteléō, G4931) συντελέω emphasizes thorough execution or fulfillment of a task/purpose (completing what was intended), with less inherent connotation of cessation or destruction.
- בָּצַע bâtsaʻ · H1214 · to cut off, to break off, to complete
- συντελέω (synteléō, G4931) emphasizes bringing to completion or fulfillment in a comprehensive sense, while בָּצַע (bâtsaʻ, H1214) primarily denotes completing or finishing an action (often with connotations of cutting off or finalizing a transaction), with its negative covetousness sense being a secondary semantic development.
