Wow, that was quick! Yigal responded already and I just had another
note from someone else off-list. Yes, I know it's Aramaic, but I meant it
appears this way in the MT of the Hebrew Bible. Also, the Aramaic is SOWF,
not COWF. I stand corrected--and I need a font here on my laptop that
doesn't make the samech look so much like a kaf. Thanks for the input,

Gary

Hi Gary,

The Aramaic (not Hebrew) means "to the end". This is one of those cases in
which I would prefer a translation that just leaves it at that, and allows
the reader to infer the rest. After all, this is what the author did!
