'Afore' in the Bible

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
