SIBI-P1 H268-04

in the back-part

Rootאחר (ʾ-ḥ-r)
Core Meaningsback, behind, after, later, following
Semantic Rangebehind, backward, rear, hind part, west (as the direction behind when facing east), afterward, later time, future
Conceptual SignificanceThe root אחר expresses both spatial and temporal "behind-ness," linking physical orientation with the concept of what comes later. In biblical thought, it can denote not only physical position but also future time or what follows in sequence, shaping perspectives on direction, destiny, and remembrance.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun (absolute) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). No article; functions substantivally to denote the rear or hind part.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָחוֹר is a masculine singular absolute form meaning "back" or "hind part," derived from the root אחר (ʾ-ḥ-r), expressing what is behind or after. The prefixed preposition בְּ means "in," yielding "in the back-part," which preserves both the spatial sense of the root and the singular masculine morphology.
