a.cher marks someone or something as distinct from the one already in view, including other people, objects, times, routes, and gods.

The term marks a person, group, object, place, time, or deity as distinct from what has already been named or is presently in view. The same contrast appears with plural groups, such as gods or messengers, and with singular items such as a man, woman, wall, route, heart, or span of years.

   Across the cited clauses, the adjective identifies what is different from an already specified referent: in 1 Kings 11:4 the APB renders Solomon's wives turning his heart after "other gods," while in Deuteronomy 20:5 it renders the possibility that "another man" will dedicate a house. It also distinguishes "the other woman" in 1 Kings 3:22, "another wall" in 2 Chronicles 32:5, a second span of "another seven years" in Genesis 29:30, and "two others" standing on opposite banks in Daniel 12:5.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the contrast with "other" or "another," as in "other gods," "another man," and "another wall." Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings confirm the clause-level contrast rather than establish a separate English equivalent in every instance.
