Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root אָחַר (Achar), meaning "to be behind" or "to delay." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G165 (αἰών • aion): Often translated as "age" or "eternity," this term can relate to the concept of time, similar to the temporal aspect of אַחֲרוֹן. • G1424 (δυσμή • dusme): Meaning "west" or "sunset," it corresponds to the geographical usage of אַחֲרוֹן. • G2078 (ἔσχατος • eschatos): Translated as "last" or "end," this Greek term aligns with the idea of finality or the last in a series. • G2540 (καιρός • kairos): Refers to an appointed time or season, akin to the temporal implications of אַחֲרוֹן. • G2645 (καταλείπω • kataleipo): Meaning "to leave behind," it can metaphorically relate to being last or least. • G3195 (μέλλω • mello): Often used to indicate something that is about to happen, similar to the future-oriented aspect of אַחֲרוֹן. • G5305 (ὑστερέω • hustereo): Meaning "to come late" or "to be last," it reflects the temporal and sequential aspects of אַחֲרוֹן. • G5306 (ὕστερος • husteros): Translated as "later" or "last," this term directly corresponds to the sequential meaning of אַחֲרוֹן. Usage: The word appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often describing the last in a series, the latter part of something, or a geographical direction (west). It is used both in literal and metaphorical senses. Context: • Literal Usage: In a literal sense, אַחֲרוֹן is used to describe the last or hindmost in a sequence. For example, in Exodus 4:8, it refers to the latter sign given to Moses. • Temporal Usage: It can denote the concept of time, such as the "last days" or "latter times," indicating a period that comes after the present or a previous time. Isaiah 41:4 uses it in this temporal sense. • Geographical Usage: The term is also used to describe the western direction, as seen in references to the "western sea" (Deuteronomy 11:24). • Metaphorical Usage: Metaphorically, it can imply the idea of being behind in terms of importance or priority, as in the "least" or "last" in a figurative sense. • Theological Implications: The use of אַחֲרוֹן in prophetic literature often points to eschatological themes, highlighting the culmination of events or the finality of God's plans.
