Keeping as a possession: This can refer to any action where an object is kept as a part of one's belongings, such as keeping it for future use, storing it, or using it. 3. Storing or holding something without permission or consent: In the context of Hebrew Scripture, 'afterpart' may also apply to having something taken and being unable to return it due to lack of permission or not sharing ownership with another party. 4.
