Exegesis
The preposition acharei {אַ֠חֲרֵי | ʾaḥărê} introduces a temporal clause, expanded by asher-heniakh {אֲשֶׁר־הֵנִ֨יחַ | ʾăšer-hênîaḥ} ‘that He caused to rest,’ where the Hifil highlights the LORD’s active role in bringing Israel into a settled condition.
In context — Joshua 23:1
And it came to pass, after many days, after the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies all around, that Joshua was old , advanced in days.
