'Afar' in the Bible

I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

All men have looked thereon. Man sees it afar off.

As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, 'Aha!' He smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

From there he spies out the prey. His eyes see it afar off.
