A Search in KJV for “after”
and an Affirmation of the Meaning of the Greek ‘μετά’
Abstract:
I find from the below search that, in the KJV, the English word “after”
is in most cases, when a time relationship is being referenced, a
translation of the Greek word “μετά” (Strong’s G3326.) The exceptions are:
Strong’s #1223, it appears as though the
word “during” may have been a better alternative in these cases, e.g. Mark 2:1
Strong’s #1534, denoting “succession.”
Strong’s #1887, “occuring on the succeeding day.”
Strong’s #1899, “thereafter.”
Strong’s #3753, “when,” i.e. an event
immediately associated with the completion of another event.
.
However, notice carefully the definition of Strong’s #3326:
“A primary preposition (often used adverbially);
properly denoting accompaniment; “amid” (local or causal); modified variously according to the case (genitive case association,
or accusative case succession) with which it is joined; occupying
an intermediate position between G575 or G1537 and G1519 or G4314; less
intimate than G1722, and less close than G4862):”
After the below findings and after thoroughly testing the Greek ‘μετά’ against the context as well as against my
calendrical and chronology findings I conclude that the Greek word ‘μετά’ specifies something closely associated,
but subsequent, in time. Specifically, I’ve found that it is frequently used to
reference the evening following immediately upon the end of a certain numbered
day of the week, for instance: “AfterG3326 twoG1417 daysG2250
isG1096
the feast of theG3588 passover,G3957”
(Matthew 26:2 KJV,) or as translated into plain English: “Monday night is the
beginning of Abib 14, the day for the preparation of the Passover sacrifice.”
In summary, I believe it may be appropriate to point out that a thing
that is being referenced as being “associated with”, is thereby also being referenced
as being secondary, or subsequent, to that thing, or event, that is primary.
That should be an obvious built in meaning of the Greek word ‘μετά.’
