, Shaph`el 
, Sabean אחֿר Osiander ZMG 1865,197; אחֿחֿר DHM Epigr. Denkm. 34). Qal once only Genesis 32:5 וָאֵחַר (contracted from וָאֶאֱחַר compare אֵהָ֑ב Proverbs 8:17) and I have tarried until now.
Pi`el Perfect אֵחַר Genesis 34:19; אֶחֱרוּ Judges 5:28; Imperfect יְאַחֵר, תְּאַחֵר (3t. תְּאַחַ֑ר) etc. Genesis 24:56 9t.; Participle (רֵֿי) מְאַהֲרִים 3t.
1 intensive, delay, tarry, absolute Judges 5:28 ("" בּשֵׁשׁ לָבוֺא) Isaiah 46:13 and my salvation לֹא תְאַחֵר Habakkuk 2:3; Psalm 40:18 = Psalm 70:6; Daniel 9:19; with ל & infinitive Genesis 34:19. — Proverbs 23:30 מְאַחֲרִים עַלהַֿיָּיִ֑ן those tarrying over the wine, Isaiah 5:11 מְאַחֲרֵי בַנֶּשֶׁף, Psalm 127:2 מְאַחֲרֵי שֶׁבֶת ("" מַשְׁכִּימֵי קוּם).
2 causative of Qal, cause one to delay, hinder Genesis 24:56; keep back (= bring late) Exodus 22:28; with ל & infinitive delay to . . . Deuteronomy 23:22 quoted Ecclesiastes 5:3: elliptical Deuteronomy 7:10 he delayeth (it, the recompense) not to his enemy. — 2 Samuel 20:5 Qr וַיּ֫וֺחֶר is taken by Ol§ 241 c as Qal (compare וַתֹּ֫חֶז 2 Samuel 20:9 from אָחַז), by Sta§ 498 c Kö1. 397 Ges§ 68 2Rem as Hiph`il (literally shewed, exhibited delay): on the Kt (?וַיֵּיחַר) see Dr Sm.
אָחַר a root, derived from the numeral אֶחָר, not used in Kal, its place being supplied by יָחַר to unite.
Hithpael, to unite, to join oneself together, to collect oneself; Ezekiel 21:21, הִתְאַחֲרִי prob. “unite thyself (sword of three edges),” i.e. ravage with united powers, or (according to the laws of parallelism), “gather thyself together,” i.e. attend! nimm dich zufammen. The opinion of a very acute interpreter, Chr. Bened. Michaëlis, is not to be despised, who regards the four first words of the verse as being those of a military commander: “Conjunge te, dextrorsum! (aciem) strue, sinistrorsum! Sammelt euch, rechts! ftellt euch (Achtung!), links!” Fall together! right! to your post! left!
