Definition: The word "aftergrass" comes from a Greek noun, which translates to "the aftergrowth or growth of grass." The precise meaning is unclear in this context, as it could refer to various things depending on its usage. In Genesis 2:14, Adam and Eve were told to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but they did not choose to do so. This resulted in them eating flesh instead of the fruit of a green plant, which is known as "aftergrass." In this context, "aftergrass" most likely refers to the growth or appearance of a particular type of grass. The idea here suggests that after eating the forbidden fruit (the tree of knowledge), Adam and Eve may have experienced the effects of the power of their sin. This power is described in Genesis 3:1-8, where Satan creates evil in the human body through the influence of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The result is that they both experience "aftergrass," a condition known as abortion. In modern contexts, it's not uncommon for people to say "after grass" or even use "aftergrape" (from Greek "afterrhaplos") in reference to the appearance of grapes after eating from a vine or plant. However, there is no specific word or phrase that directly translates to this from the original Hebrew text.
