behind him
| Root | אחר (ʾ-ḥ-r) |
| Core Meanings | back, behind, after, following, laterness, succession |
| Semantic Range | Spatially: behind, at the back of; temporally: after, later than; sequentially: following, subsequent to; relationally: in pursuit of, in allegiance to; genealogically: posterity or what comes after. |
| Conceptual Significance | The term often expresses discipleship or covenant loyalty when used of walking "behind" YHWH, as well as succession in time or lineage. It conveys the biblical idea of following—whether in obedience, pursuit, or historical continuation. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition/adverb אַחַר (HR) with 3ms pronominal suffix (-יו), functioning adverbially or prepositionally: "behind him," "after him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines אַחַר ("back/behind, after") with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (-יו), yielding "behind him." This rendering preserves the root’s spatial sense of what is at the back or following, while accurately reflecting the masculine singular suffix. |
