behind him

Morphological NotesPreposition derived from noun אַחַר with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix
Rendering RationaleThe prepositional form from אחר denotes what is at the rear or following; with the 3rd masculine singular suffix it specifies position or sequence relative to him. "Behind him" preserves the root’s primary spatial sense of being at the rear while reflecting the attached masculine singular pronoun.
