Strong's Lexicon soph: End, conclusion, termination Original Word: סוֹף Word Origin: Derived from the root סוּף (sûph), which means "to come to an end" or "to cease." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5056 (τέλος, telos) – meaning "end" or "completion." - G4930 (συντέλεια, synteleia) – meaning "consummation" or "completion." Usage: The Hebrew word "soph" primarily denotes the concept of an end or conclusion. It is used to describe the termination of a period, event, or process. In the biblical context, it often refers to the end of time, the conclusion of a narrative, or the cessation of an action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "end" was significant in both temporal and eschatological senses. The Israelites understood history as linear, with a definitive beginning and end, as opposed to cyclical views of time found in other ancient cultures. The "end" was often associated with divine intervention, judgment, and fulfillment of God's promises.
