- Hebrew שָׁלַם encompasses a broad semantic range including completion, peace-making, and restitution, while Greek ἀποτίνω specifically denotes the transactional act of paying back or making compensation in full. The Greek term captures the 'repay, compensate' subset of the Hebrew root's broader meaning, making it a genuine translation equivalent within that narrower range.
