'Afar' in the Bible

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept. And they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens.

I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Creator.

All men look at it; man beholdeth it afar off.

At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
