ka.lal describes bringing a city's beauty to completion through its builders and defenders.

Senses in use

  1. Bring a city's beauty to completion · dominant

    Both occurrences are Qal perfect, third common plural forms. In Ezekiel 27:4 the APB renders the clause "your builders have perfected your beauty"; in Ezekiel 27:11 it renders the wall- and tower-setting group as having "perfected your beauty."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents both clauses with "perfected your beauty." This repeated English wording confirms the verse-level portrayal but does not isolate every aspect of the Hebrew term.
