why does it say this at the end of each book in the tanakh ?

[bluemarkus]

hi gang,

another thing is, at the end of every book of my JPS tanakh there is the following phrase:


טם ונשלם טהילה לאל בורא עולם

i wanted to ask why that is and what does it mean, does anyone know ?
does it mean like "praised be god forever" or something like that ?

cheers

Are you sure it says טהילה? I know the word תהילה, but I don't think טהילה is a word. Could you check that?

 

[Empt]

הוא מתכוון לתם ונשלם,תהילה לבורא עולם.
tam ve nishlam-done and complete
le bore olam=glory to the creator god.

 

[yonah_mishael]

Fantastic.

u guys are right i had some writing mistakes

תם ונשלם תהילה לאל בורא עולם

this is the real words, printed in fat letters below each finished chapter.

i believe Empt has already translated the large part of the phrase correctly..
