Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

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!
