the word shalom and expand the meaning of the word to what it really means in Hebrew

In the translation of Exodus 21-22, shalam is translated as “make it good”, “shall surely
pay”, “make full restitution” or to “restore”. The ancient Hebrew meaning of shalam was
“to make something whole”. Not just regarding practical restoration of things that were
lost or stolen. But with an overall sense of fulness and completeness in mind, body and
estate.
This meaning of wholeness carries over into the word Shalom.
