Tradition reads this as God's creative power staying joined to its source. In the primary lessons: maths: a story word or the last part of a time span (the week ending on Friday); English: writing a good ending, word endings for plurals and past forms; everyday life: a happy ending, a sad ending

### Examples

- The Ten ineffable Sephiroth, whose ending is even as their origin, are like as a flame arising from a burning coal. (Sefer Yetzirah, Westcott 1893) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/E/ending/#x1)

### Note
