with (in company with) / after (in sequence after)

Rootμετά (meta)
Core Meaningswith, among, in company with, after, following, in sequence
Semantic Rangeassociation, companionship, participation, proximity, sequence in time, succession, transition from one state or event to another
Conceptual Significanceμετά expresses either covenantal or communal closeness (“with” God or others) or temporal progression in redemptive history (“after these things”). Its dual case usage highlights the biblical themes of shared presence and unfolding sequence in divine action.
Morphological NotesPreposition (Gr,P). Takes the genitive to express association or accompaniment; takes the accusative to express succession or sequence in time or order. The form μεθ’ is an elided form of μετά before a vowel.
Rendering Rationaleμετά fundamentally denotes accompaniment or participation, and with the genitive it expresses association (“with, in company with”), while with the accusative it marks succession in time or order (“after, following”). This rendering preserves the root sense of shared position or sequence and reflects the distinct case relationships shown in the morphology.
