B. Noun.

, 4138), fullness, has two meanings, (a) in the active sense, “that
which fills up,” a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment, Matt. 9:16; Mark 2:21, lit.,
“the filling” (
RV
, “that which should fill it up”), i.e., “the patch,” which is probably the
significance; (b) “that which has been completed, the fullness,” e.g., Mark 8:20. See
FULLNESS

Notes:
(1) In Rev. 18:6,
KJV
,
$
, “to mix,” is incorrectly rendered “to fill
full” (
RV
, to mingle). (2) In Rev. 15:1,
KJV
,
, “to finish, complete,” is incorrectly
rendered “filled up” (
RV
, “finished”); the contents of the seven bowls are not the sum
total of the divine judgments; they form the termination of them; there are many which
precede (see previous chapters), which are likewise comprised under “the wrath of God,”
to be executed at the closing period of the present age, e.g., 6:17; 11:18; 14:10, 19.

, 4027) denotes “offscouring, refuse” (lit., “cleanings,”
i.e., that which is thrown away in cleansing; from
, “to purify all around,”
i.e., completely, as in the Sept. of Deut. 18:10; Josh. 5:4.¶) It is once used in the Sept.
(Prov. 21:18) as the price of expiation; among the Greeks the term was applied to victims
sacrificed to make expiation; they also used it of criminals kept at the public expense, to
be thrown into the sea, or otherwise killed, at the outbreak of a pestilence, etc. It is used
in 1 Cor. 4:13 much in this sense (not of sacrificial victims), “the filth of the world”
representing “the most abject and despicabie men” (Grimm-Thayer), the scum or rubbish
of humanity.¶
