'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.

Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.

And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
