sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It often marks a time period, such as the seven-year cycle, where the end of the year brings a release of debts. "Latter end" means what will come in the future. Interpretation: Tradition reads the seventh-year release (shemitah) as a chance to forgive debts and start again. The "latter end" is read as the final outcome of Israel's actions. In the primary lessons: maths: the last moment or place; the amount «at the end» is the result after all changes; ends of a row (trees from one end to the other); end time of an event (length = end − start); stories: «the end», a happy ending; everyday life: the end of term, the deep end of the pool; phrases: «in the end», «end up», «make ends meet», «at the end of»
