Senses in use

  1. Perfection or completeness with an end · dominant

    In Psalm 119:96, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in the statement that the speaker has seen an end to “all perfection”; the APB renders the clause, “To all perfection I have seen an end,” before contrasting the commandment as very broad.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 119:96, the APB presents the clause as “To all perfection I have seen an end.” Its exact wording cannot by itself fix the term’s precise contribution.
