from afar, at a distance, far off
An adverb meaning from a distance, far away, afar off. In Luke 17:12, ten lepers 'stood at a distance'—they kept far off as the law required for the ritually unclean, calling to Jesus from afar. In Hebrews 11:13, the heroes of faith 'saw and greeted [the promises] from afar'—they glimpsed fulfillment from a distance, not experiencing it in their lifetimes but recognizing it on the horizon. The word marks physical or temporal distance—separated by space or time from what one sees or seeks.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — From a distance, standing or seeing afar off, whether physical separation (lepers keeping legally required distance) or temporal perspective (faith seeing future promises from afar). In Luke, 'porrōthen' marks the social and ritual distance imposed by leprosy—they cannot approach Jesus directly but cry out from isolation. In Hebrews, it describes the patriarchs' view of God's promises—glimpsed on the horizon, greeted from temporal distance, not yet possessed. The Spanish 'de lejos' and French 'de loin' capture both: separated by space or time from the desired object. 2×
