from after him
| Root | אחר (ʾ-ḥ-r) |
| Core Meanings | behind, after, following, later, hind part |
| Semantic Range | from behind him; from following him; away from him; from after him in time (subsequent to him); departing from allegiance to him |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in covenantal contexts to describe following after or turning away from someone, especially YHWH. It can mark loyalty (walking after) or apostasy (turning from after), expressing relational alignment in both spatial and spiritual terms. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to אַחַר in construct form with 3ms pronominal suffix ו ("him"): literally "from-after-him." Marked as HR/R/Sp3ms (preposition with 3ms suffix). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אחר conveys the idea of what is behind or what comes after. The prefixed preposition מֵ ("from") combined with the noun in construct and the 3rd masculine singular suffix yields "from after him," preserving both the spatial/temporal sense of "after/behind" and the masculine singular pronominal reference. |
