Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primitive root in Aramaic.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G853 (ἀφανίζω, aphanizo): To make disappear, to destroy, to come to an end.
• G3039 (λιμός, limos): Famine, hunger, often used metaphorically to describe a period of lack or cessation of sustenance.

These Greek terms, while not direct translations, share thematic elements with סוּף in the sense of ending or cessation, whether it be the disappearance of something or the end of a period of abundance.

Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of something coming to a conclusion or ceasing to exist. It is often employed in the sense of ending or finishing a process or event.

Context: The Aramaic verb סוּף (sup) is a term that conveys the concept of finality or cessation. It is used in the context of something reaching its conclusion or being brought to an end. This term is found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where it describes the completion of events or the cessation of certain actions.

In the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe the end of a vision or prophecy, indicating the fulfillment or conclusion of what has been revealed. Similarly, in Ezra, it may refer to the completion of a decree or the end of a period of time. The usage of סוּף underscores the sovereignty of God in bringing events to their appointed end, reflecting a theological understanding that all things are under divine control and will ultimately reach their intended conclusion.

The concept of ending or ceasing is significant in the biblical narrative, as it often marks the transition from one divine purpose to another, highlighting the unfolding of God's plan throughout history. The term סוּף, therefore, not only denotes a literal end but also carries theological implications of fulfillment and divine orchestration.
