'Afar' in the Bible

And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.

On the third day -- Abraham lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the place from afar;

And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
