Strong's Lexicon seeph: End, edge, brink Original Word: סֵעֵף Word Origin: Derived from the root סָפָה (saphah), which means "to sweep away" or "to destroy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἄκρον (akron), meaning "end" or "extremity." Usage: The Hebrew word "seeph" generally refers to the edge or extremity of something, often used metaphorically to describe the brink or limit of a situation. It can denote the physical edge of an object or the figurative end of a period or event. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of edges or boundaries was significant, both in physical and spiritual terms. The edge of a garment, for example, could hold symbolic meaning, as seen in the fringes or tassels (tzitzit) commanded in Numbers 15:38-39. Similarly, the idea of being on the brink or edge of a significant event often carried connotations of impending change or divine intervention.
