Usage: Eber is a proper noun used in the Bible to refer to a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah. Eber is significant as the eponymous ancestor of the Hebrews, and his name is often associated with the lineage leading to Abraham. The name Eber is traditionally understood to mean "beyond" or "the other side," possibly referring to his family's crossing of the Euphrates River.

Cultural and Historical Background: Eber is a patriarchal figure in the genealogies of Genesis, representing a key link in the lineage from Shem to Abraham. His name is associated with the term "Hebrew," which is used to describe the descendants of Abraham. Eber's significance is underscored by his place in the genealogical records, which were crucial for establishing identity and heritage in ancient Israelite culture. The genealogies served not only as historical records but also as theological affirmations of God's promises to His people.
