| Conceptual Significance | This term frames biblical thought in terms of sequence and allegiance—what comes "after" may imply both temporal succession and covenantal loyalty (e.g., walking after YHWH or after other gods). It conveys not merely chronology but the idea of following in orientation, devotion, or pursuit. |
| Morphological Notes | Prepositional form from the noun אַחַר ("back, behind"), functioning as a construct form meaning "after" or "behind." No inflection for gender or number in this usage. |
| Rendering Rationale | אַחֲרֵי is the prepositional (construct) form of אַחַר, derived from the root meaning "behind" or "hind part." Rendering it as "in the wake of" preserves the concrete spatial sense of following behind, which naturally extends to temporal and figurative uses ("after," "following"). As a preposition (HR), it carries no gender or number marking. |
