Usage: Eber is used as a personal name in the genealogies of the Hebrew Bible. It is notably recognized as an ancestor of several significant biblical figures and is often associated with the lineage of the Hebrews. Context: Eber is a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah, and is listed in the genealogies found in Genesis. He is the father of two sons, Peleg and Joktan, as recorded in Genesis 10:25 and 1 Chronicles 1:19. The name Eber is significant in biblical history as it is traditionally considered the origin of the term "Hebrew" (עִבְרִי, Ivri), which is used to describe the descendants of Abraham. Eber's lineage is crucial in the biblical narrative, as it connects to the patriarchs and the formation of the Israelite identity. In Genesis 11:14-17, Eber is noted for his long lifespan, living 464 years. His descendants, through Peleg, are part of the line leading to Abraham, making Eber an important figure in the ancestral history of the Israelites.
