Definition: The word "afterwort" is a term in biblical Hebrew that refers to an afterthought, which is not part of the main concern or purpose of the creation narrative. It is often used figuratively to describe something unforeseen or unexpected. In the Hebrew Bible, the first use of this word occurs in Genesis 2:6, where God said, "Then I will make you a garden," and then proceeds to describe the Garden of Eden as being created for him alone (Exodus 19:25). The term "afterwort" is used figuratively throughout Scripture to express something that deviates from what was intended or planned. It also suggests that something unexpected or unanticipated should be considered, despite its potential to disrupt or cause offense. This concept is central to the story of creation and is often seen as a reflection on God's creative power and His ability to surprise and delight through His actions and providence.
