This rich term encompasses wholeness, health, prosperity, peace, and relational harmony—far more than mere absence of conflict. It appears in greetings ('Is it peace/well with you?'), describes physical safety and bodily health, and carries theological weight as God's gift of comprehensive flourishing. The semantic range includes completeness in number, soundness of body, material welfare, and especially peaceful relationships. When Moses promises peace-offerings or Israelites inquire after one another's שָׁלוֹם, they invoke a vision of integrated well-being that touches every dimension of human existence under God's blessing.
