Definition: The word "afterstretch" in the Greek language originally means a distance or size beyond that indicated by a line drawn between two objects, but this meaning has been lost over time. It was replaced by the word "afterwards," which literally means after something else happens. In the New International Version (NIV), "After Stretching Out His Hand" is used to describe the act of stretching out his hand in the Bible. This phrase seems to have originated from a Greek source and has been lost over time, but it was later adopted by the NIV. The word "afterstretch" can also be translated as "afterwards," meaning after something happens or another object is added. It's important to note that this translation does not imply that the action of stretching out one's hand had anything to do with the act of being stretched out in the Bible, but rather that it was a common occurrence and was used in the context of the narrative.
