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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "soph" was significant in understanding the cyclical nature of life and time. The Israelites viewed history as a series of divinely orchestrated events leading to a predetermined end. This understanding was deeply rooted in their theology and eschatology, where the "end" was not just a cessation but a fulfillment of God's promises and plans.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5486.htm">suph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an end<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>conclusion* (1), end (3), rear (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">סוֺף</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Ecclesiastes 7:2</sup> <font size="+1"><b>end</b></font>, late synonym of <font class="hebrew2">קֵץ</font>;
