It often conveys the idea of being removed or separated from a particular scene or event. This term can imply both literal spatial distance and a figurative sense of being emotionally or spiritually distant.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, physical distance often equated to social or relational distance. Being "afar" could imply exclusion or separation from a community or event. In the context of the New Testament, this term can highlight the barriers between individuals, whether due to social status, religious purity laws, or personal circumstances.<div class="vheading2">NAS
