or EBER, the father of Peleg, and the son of Salah, who was the grandson of Shem, one of Noah's sons, was born A.M. 1723; B.C. 2281. From him some have supposed that Abraham and his descendants derived the appellation of Hebrews. But others have suggested, with greater probability, that Abraham and his family were thus called, because they came from the other side of the Euphrates into Canaan; Heber signifying in the Hebrew language one that passes, or, a passage, that is, of the river Euphrates. According to this opinion, Hebrew signifies much the same as foreigner among us, or one that comes from beyond sea. Such were Abraham and his family among the Canaanites; and his posterity, learning and using the language of the country, still retained the appellation originally given them, even when they became possessors and settled inhabitants.
2. HEBER the Kenite, of Jethro's family, husband to Jael, who killed Sisera, Jdg_4:17, &c.

hē?bẽr (חבר, ḥebher, ?associate? or, possibly, ?enchanter?; Ἔβερ, Éber): A name occurring several times in the Old Testament as the name of an individual or of a clan.
(1) A member of the tribe of Asher and son of Beraiah (Gen_46:17; Num_26:45; 1Ch_7:31 f).
(2) A Kenite, husband of Jael, who deceptively slew Sisera, captain of the army of Jabin, a Canaanite king (Jdg_4:17; Jdg_5:24). He had separated himself from the main body of the Kenites, which accounts for his tent being near Kedesh, the place of Sisera's disastrous battle (Jdg_4:11).
(3) Head of a clan of Judah, and son of Mered by his Jewish, as distinguished from an Egyptian wife. He was father, or founder, of Soco (1Ch_4:18).
(4) A Benjamite, or clan or family of Elpaal belonging to Benjamin (1Ch_8:17).
(5) Heber, of our Lord's genealogy (Luk_3:35 the King James Version), better, Eber.
So, the name ?Eber,? עבר, ‛ēbher, in 1Ch_5:13; 1Ch_8:22, is not to be confused with Heber, חבר, ḥebher, as in the foregoing passages.

Heber, 1
He?ber, (one of the other side), son of Salah, who became the father of Peleg at the age of 34 years, and died at the age of 464 (Gen_10:24; Gen_11:14; 1Ch_1:25). His name occurs in the genealogy of Christ (Luk_3:35). There is nothing to constitute Heber an historical personage; but there is a degree of interest connected with him from the notion, which the Jews themselves entertain, that the name of Hebrews, applied to them, was derived from this alleged ancestor of Abraham.
Heber, 2
A descendant of Hobab, son of Jethro, and brother of the wife of Moses. His wife was the Jael who slew Sisera, and he is called Heber the Kenite (Jdg_4:11; Jdg_4:17; Jdg_5:24), which seems to have been a name for the whole family (Jdg_1:16). Heber appears to have lived separate from the rest of the Kenites, leading a patriarchal life, amid his tents and flocks. He must have been a person of some consequence, from its being stated that there was peace between the house of Heber and the powerful king Jabin. At the time the history brings him under our notice his camp was in the plain of Zaanaim, near Kedesh in Naphtali [JAEL; KENITES].

Heber
the name of seven men, with a difference of orthography in the original. SEE EBER.
1. EBER (Heb. E'ber, עֵבֶר, one of the other side, i.e. of the river, q. d. immigrant; Sept. ῞Εβερ and ῎Εβερ, Vulg. Heber), son of Salah, who became the father of Peleg at the age of 34 years, and died at the age of 464 (Gen_10:24; Gen_11:14; 1Ch_1:25). His name occurs in the genealogy of Christ (Luk_3:35, Ε᾿βέρ, “Heber”). B.C. 2448-1984. There is a degree of interest connected with him from the notion, which the Jews themselves entertain, that the name of Hebrews, applied to them, was derived from this alleged ancestor of Abraham. No historical ground appears why this name should be derived from him rather than from any other personage that occurs in the catalogue of Shem's descendants; but there are so much stronger objections to every other hypothesis, that this, perhaps, is still the most probable of any which have yet been started. (See Gesenius, Geschichte der Heb. Sprache und Schrift, p. 11.) Hence “the children of Eber” (בְּנֵי עֵבֶר, Gen_10:21), and simply in poetry Eber (עֵבֶר, Num_24:24; Sept. ῾Εβραῖοι, Vulg. Hebraei), i.q. HEBREWS (עַבְרַים). Several other persons of this (Heb.) name occur, but no others are anywhere Anglicized “Heber.”
2. “EBER” (same Heb. word as above; Sept. ῎Ιωβήδ, Vulg. Heber), the last-named of the seven chiefs of the Gadites in Bashan (1Ch_5:13, where the name is Anglicized “Heber”). B.C. between 1612 and 1093.
3. “EBER” (same Hebrew word as above; Sept. ᾿Ωβήδ, Vulg. feber), apparently one of the sons of Shashak, and a chief of the tribe of Benjamin (1Ch_8:22, where the name is Anglicized” Heber”). B.C. ante 598.
4. “HEBER” (Che'ber, חֶבֶר, conmunity, as in Hos_6:9; Pro_21:9; or a spell, as in Deu_18:11; Isa_47:9; Isa_47:12; Sept. Χόβορ, Χοβέρ, Χάβερ), son of Beriah, and grandson of Asher (Gen_46:17; 1Ch_7:31-32). B.C. apparently ante 1873. His descendants are called HEBERITES (Heb. Chebri', חֶבְרַי, Sept. Χοβερί, Num_26:45, where the name of the progenitor is written חֵבֶר).
5. “HEBER” (same Heb. word as last, Sept. Χάβερ, Vulg. Haber), “a descendant of Hobab, which latter was son of Jethro, and brother of the wife of Moses. His wife was the Jael who slew Sisera (B.C. 1409), and he is called Heber the Kenite (Jdg_4:11; Jdg_4:17; Jdg_5:24), which seems to have been a name for the whole family (Jdg_1:16). Heber appears to have lived separate from the rest of the Kenites, leading a patriarchal life amid his tents and flocks. He must have been a person of some consequence, from its being stated that there was peace between the house of Heber and the powerful king Jabin. At the time the history brings him under our notice, his camp was in the plain of Zaanaim, near Kedesh, in Naphtali” SEE JAKL; SEE KENITE.
6. “HEBER” (same Heb. word as last, Sept. Α᾿βάρ), apparently a son of Mered (of Judah) by Jehudijah, and “father” of Socho (1Ch_4:18). B.C. post 1612. SEE MERED. 7. “HEBER” (same Heb. word as last, Sept. Α᾿βέρ), one of the “sons” of Elpaal, and a chief of the tribe of Benjamin (1Ch_8:17). B.C. apparently cir. 598.
