Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Hebrew 5677: עֵבֶר (Eber) • The Hebrew origin of the Greek Ἔβερ, referring to the same ancestral figure in the genealogies of the Old Testament, notably in Genesis 10:21 and 11:14-17.

Usage: The name Eber appears in genealogical contexts within the New Testament, specifically in the genealogies of Jesus Christ.

Context: Eber is a significant figure in biblical genealogies, appearing in the lineage of Shem, one of Noah's sons. He is traditionally recognized as the ancestor of the Hebrews, with his name often associated with the term "Hebrew." The name Eber is mentioned in the genealogical records of the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Luke, which traces the lineage of Jesus Christ back to Adam. In Luke 3:35 (BSB), Eber is listed as an ancestor of Jesus, highlighting the continuity of God's covenantal promises through the generations.

Eber's significance extends beyond his genealogical placement; he represents the continuation of the faithful line through which God would bring about His redemptive plan. The mention of Eber in the New Testament serves to affirm the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the unfolding of God's salvation history through Jesus Christ.
