Strong's Lexicon eber: Region beyond, side, other side Original Word: אֵבֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root עָבַר (abar), meaning "to pass over" or "to cross." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "eber" is πέραν (peran), Strong's Greek #4008, meaning "beyond" or "on the other side." Usage: The Hebrew word "eber" generally refers to a region or area that is on the other side of a geographical boundary, such as a river or a mountain range. It is often used to describe territories that are across a significant landmark from the speaker's perspective. In the context of the Bible, it frequently denotes areas beyond the Jordan River or other significant bodies of water. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, geographical boundaries like rivers and mountains were significant markers for territories and regions. The term "eber" would have been used to describe lands that were not immediately accessible and required crossing a natural barrier. This concept is important in understanding the territorial divisions and movements of peoples in the biblical narrative, especially in the context of the Israelites' journey and settlement in the Promised Land.
