Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

כֶּלַח m.

(1)  completion, finishing [this meaning is not given in Thes. see No. 2]. So Job 30:2, used of very despicable men; “what can the strength of their hands profit me עָלֵימוֹ אָבַד כָּֽלַח in whom completion is perished,” who cannot complete any thing. LXX. ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἀπώλετο συντέλεια. עָלֵימוֹ for (אֲשֶׁר) לָמוֹ. Hence

(2) poetically used of old age, as rightly taken by Targ. Saad. Ms. Kimchi: (the Arab. كَلَحَ to have an austere countenance, and كَلِحَ to draw up and contract the lips, are secondary words, both of them being, derived from the idea of old age). Job 5:26, תָּבוֹא בְכֶלַח אֱלֵי קָֽבֶר “thou shalt go to the grave in old age,” as if בְּשֵׂיבָה טוֹבָה. As to the word with which I, together with others, formerly compared this, “Syr. ܟܠܚ soundness, health;” it rested on a singular error of Edm. Castell, who had incorrectly rendered a gloss of Barbahlul, see Lex. min. edit. 3, pref. p. xx. [In Thes. the primary meaning given to this word is “perhaps mature old age.”]

(3) [Calah], pr.n. of a city and province of Assyria, probably the same as is elsewhere written חֲלַח, which see. (Compare כְּבָר and חָבוֹר.) Genesis 10:11. See Michaëlis, Supplem. p. 767.
