Genesis 2:1

And the Dual-Heavenly-Ones were being completed,54 and the Earth, and the whole army of them.55

Footnote:

54

Strong's Hebrew #3615 כלה to be finished, complete.

This form יכלו is in the imperfect/incomplete form, i.e being finished/completed

It is a true irony how the incomplete form of a Hebrew word which itself means "to complete" got translated as "were completed."

The Hebrew word כלה (kalah) generally means "to complete," "finish," or "consume." Depending on the context, it can signify something that has come to an end, has been finished. It is similar to shalem ("Shalom") complete/whole, or כלל kalal, perfected. 

כלה kalah can also refer to a "bride" as a noun stemming from the root כלל perfected.
