Significance

Shālôm usually richer than absence of conflict—positive blessing, right relationship with God. Reflects customary greeting/farewell but deeper. Prophetic writings anticipate peace period via Messiah. "Leave" (aphiēmi) probably = "bequeath" (cf. Psalm 17:14; Ecclesiastes 2:18). Invokes "that day" (14:20) of OT expectation.
