| Morphological Notes | Prepositional use of plural construct form of noun אָחוֹר ("back, rear"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אֲחֹרֵי is the construct/plural form of אָחוֹר used prepositionally, conveying the position at the back of or following after. "Behind" preserves the core spatial sense of being at the rear, consistent with the root idea of what comes after. |
