and the hinder-part
| Root | אחר (ʾ-ḥ-r) |
| Core Meanings | after, behind, later, rear, following |
| Semantic Range | rear, back part, behind, backward, west (as the direction behind when facing east), afterward, later time |
| Conceptual Significance | The term reflects the Hebrew spatial worldview in which orientation (eastward facing) determines directions, making "the hinder-part" synonymous with the west. It also extends metaphorically into temporal sequence ("afterward"), reinforcing the conceptual link between space and time in biblical thought. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun (Ncmsa). Though often functioning adverbially in context ("behind, backward"), its form is a singular masculine noun meaning "rear" or "back part." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָחוֹר derives from the root אחר, expressing the idea of what is behind or after. As a masculine singular absolute noun with prefixed conjunction ("and"), the rendering "and the hinder-part" preserves its substantive form rather than reducing it to a mere adverb, while maintaining the core spatial sense of "that which is behind." |
