It conveys a sense of pleading or supplication, often in the context of seeking divine intervention or favor. The term is used to describe the act of prayer that is fervent and heartfelt, indicating a deep reliance on God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, prayer was a central aspect of religious life, serving as a means of communication with God. The act of entreating or supplicating was not merely a ritualistic practice but a sincere expression of faith and dependence on the divine. The Israelites believed in a personal God who was responsive to their prayers, and "athar" captures this dynamic relationship. The practice of prayer was often accompanied by fasting, sacrifices, or other acts of devotion, reflecting the seriousness and urgency of the supplicant's request.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>after (3), place (2), places (1), site (1), trace (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲתַר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>place</b></font> (so Egyptian Aramaic, Nabataean, Palmyrene; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font>; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108309.gif"> <em>place</em>; Zinjirli <font class="hebrew2">אשר</font> Lzb<sup>229f.</sup>; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108310.gif"> <em>footstep</em>; compare Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">אֲשׁוּר</font> and below <font class="hebrew2">אֲשֶׁר</font>); — <em>place</em> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>a.</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-35.htm">Daniel 2:35</a> <font class="hebrew2">וְכָלאֲֿחַר לָאהִֿשְׁתְּכַח לְהוֺן</font>, <a href="/interlinear/ezra/5-15.htm">Ezra 5:15</a> <font class="hebrew2">וּבֵית אֱלָהָא יִתְבְנֵא עַלאַֿתְרֵהּ</font>, <a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-3.htm">Ezra 6:3</a>,5,7.
