סוּף
(1) prop. to snatch away, to carry away, i.q. אָסַף, which see. Hence סוּפָה.
(2) to make an end (see Hiph.), but in Kal intrans. to leave off, to desist, Isaiah 66:17; Esther 9:28. Here also are to be referred סָֽפוּ Psal. 73:19 (Milêl), and וְסָפוּ Amos 3:15 (Milra on account of Vav conversive). (Syr. and Chald. id., Arab. ساف VIII. to cause to perish, to exterminate).
Hiphil, to take away, to destroy, to make an end of. Zephaniah 1:2, Zephaniah 1:3, אָסֹף אָסֵף “in taking away I will take away;” and Jerem. 8:13, אָסֹף אֲסִיפֵם “taking away I will take them away;” where inf. pleon. is from the kindred verb אָסַף No. 5 (comp. Isaiah 28:28). Hence סוֹף, סוּפָה.
סוּף Chald. id. to have an end, i.e. to be fulfilled, as a prediction, Daniel 4:30 (compare כִּלָה No. 1, fin.).
Aphel, to make an end of a thing, Daniel 2:44.
סוּף m.
(1) rush, reed, sea weed. (The etymology is not known, and it cannot be derived from the verb סוּף. Perhaps it may be of the same origin as the Lat. scirpus, sirpus, the old high Germ. Sciluf, Germ. Schilf, Dan. sif, säf, the letter r being gradually softened into l, and even into a vowel, see the roots מוּת, דּוּשׁ, אוּץ ). Specially
(a) sea weed, Jonah 2:6 whence יַס־סוּף the weedy sea, i.e. the Arabian gulf which abounds in sea weed, Psalms 106:7, Psalms 106:9, 22 Psalms 106:22, 136:13. It is also called in Egyptian ⲫⲟⲙⲝ ⲛϣⲁⲣⲝ, i.e. the sea of weed. See Michaëlis Suppl. ad Lexx. Hebr., p. 1726; Jablonski Opuscc. ed. te Water, t. i. p. 266; Bochart, Opp., t. ii. page 1191.
(b) a rush growing in the Nile, Exodus 2:3, Isaiah 19:6. Plin. N. H. xiii. 23, sect. 45.
(2) pr.n. of a town [?], Deuteronomy 1:1.
