Strong's Lexicon Acher: Other, another, different Original Word: אַחֵר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָחַר (achar), meaning "to be behind" or "to delay." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2087 (ἕτερος, heteros) - meaning "another" or "different" - G243 (ἄλλος, allos) - meaning "other" or "another" Usage: The Hebrew word "Acher" is used to denote something that is different or distinct from what has been previously mentioned. It often refers to another of the same kind or a different kind, depending on the context. It can describe people, objects, or concepts that are separate or distinct from a primary subject. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "otherness" was significant in distinguishing between the chosen people of Israel and other nations, as well as between the holy and the profane. The term "Acher" would have been used to emphasize distinctions in religious, social, and cultural contexts. Understanding these distinctions was crucial for maintaining the identity and purity of the Israelite community. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originof uncertain derivation Definition an Isr.
