Soph denotes an endpoint or conclusion, including a final arrival, a dominion's termination, and a matter's closing.

The attested uses mark an endpoint or conclusion: Daniel comes “At last” in Daniel 4:8, a dominion is brought to an end in Daniel 7:26, and Daniel identifies the close of the matter in Daniel 7:28.

Senses in use

  1. Endpoint or concluding point · dominant

    In Daniel 4:8, the construct form occurs where the APB renders Daniel's arrival “At last.” In Daniel 7:26 the determined form stands in the clause where the APB renders a dominion as “brought to an end,” while Daniel 7:28 closes the report with “This is the end of the matter.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through “At last,” “brought to an end,” and “the end of the matter.” Its specific contribution is less clear in Daniel 4:19 and Daniel 6:27.
