Strong's Lexicon
achar: after, behind, following, later

Original Word: אַחַר
Part of Speech: Adverb
Transliteration: achar
Pronunciation: ah-khar'
Phonetic Spelling: (akh-ar')
Definition: after, behind, following, later
Meaning: after

Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to be behind" or "to follow."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3694 (opisō): Often used in the New Testament to denote "behind" or "after," similar to "achar" in Hebrew.

- G3326 (meta): Used to indicate accompaniment or succession, akin to "after" in temporal contexts.

Usage: The Hebrew word "achar" is primarily used to denote a position in time or space that is behind or following something else. It can refer to physical positioning, such as being behind someone, or temporal sequencing, such as events occurring after one another. In the context of biblical narratives, "achar" often signifies succession or consequence.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of time and sequence was often understood in terms of spatial orientation. The past was seen as "before" and the future as "behind," reflecting a worldview where one moves forward into the unknown future. This understanding is reflected in the use of "achar" to describe events or actions that follow others. The term also carries connotations of loyalty and discipleship, as following someone often implied adherence to their teachings or leadership.
