Where it appears

Daniel · 2

  1. Daniel 2:44 וְתָסֵיף֙ so it may put an end to

    In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself stand forever.

    Here: "And bring to an end." It comes from the root behind 'end' (Hebrew sof). The empires are not reformed or absorbed. They stop.

  2. Daniel 4:33 סָ֣פַת it was fulfilled

    At that moment the sentence against Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from mankind. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.
