when consumed
To bring to completion or fulfillment; to finish, come to an end, or consume. The root כָּלָה expresses the reaching or accomplishing of a limit or an intended purpose, and hence also ending, ceasing, or perishing. Intransitively, it refers to being completed, finished, or exhausted; transitively, to completing, bringing to an end, consuming, or destroying. It can also carry the sense of longing or pining away, as of a soul reaching its limit. The word's semantic range thus includes both neutral senses of completion and negative senses of complete destruction or consumption.

in completing
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of כלה with prefixed ב preposition; simple active sense of completing or coming to an end. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal infinitive construct of כלה, expressing the simple action of bringing something to completion or reaching its end. The prefixed ב marks it as occurring "in" or "at" the act of completing, so "in completing" preserves both the root sense and morphology. |
