qe.tsat denotes an extremity, a completed point in time, or a portion within what is being described.

The term most often marks the extremities of a crafted object, as the two points of the mercy seat, grate, or shoulder pieces. It also marks the completion of a stated period in Daniel and can identify a portion of objects given over in Daniel 1:2; its contribution in Nehemiah 7:69 is not isolated by the translation.

1. Extremities of an object · dominant

   The plural forms identify the two outer points of constructed items: in Exodus 37:8 the APB renders cherubim made from the two “ends” of the mercy seat; Exodus 38:5 places rings at the four “ends” of the bronze grate; and Exodus 39:4 describes the shoulder pieces joined at their two ends.

2. Completion of a stated period · common

   The singular construct form occurs with defined periods in Daniel: in Daniel 1:15 the APB renders “At the end of ten days,” in Daniel 1:18 “At the end of the time,” and in Daniel 1:5 “at the end of that time.” In each clause, it locates what follows after the specified duration.

3. A portion taken from a larger whole · occasional

   In Daniel 1:2, the singular construct form occurs where the APB says that Jehoiakim was given over together with “part of the vessels of the house of God.” Nehemiah 7:69 has the same singular construct form, but the APB's inventory of camels and donkeys does not make its specific contribution clear.

   Daniel 1:2Nehemiah 7:69

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “end” or “ends” in the construction verses, “At the end” for stated periods in Daniel, and “part” in Daniel 1:2. In Nehemiah 7:69, the translation’s numerical inventory does not visibly isolate a corresponding English expression.
