### Note

Points to the final amount after all the changes. Trap: «trees from one end to the other» of a row often counts both ends (one more than the gaps). «End up» means finally be somewhere or have something.

## In 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.
