{Ail milluim,} literally, "the ram of filling;" so called, according to some, because at the consecration of the priests, certain pieces of the sacrifice were put into their hands (Exo 29:24;) on which account their consecration itself is called "filling their hands."

Accordingly, the LXX. render it by [teleiosis,] consummation.
