1. Eber (personal name) — Proper noun designating Eber (עֵבֶר), the ancestor of the Hebrews and descendant of Shem (Gen 10:21, 24-25, 11:14-17; 1 Chr 1:18-19, 25; Neh 12:20; Num 24:24). All three clusters refer to the same patriarchal figure in different syntactic positions: bare nominative (S122280), with conjunction/preposition forms (S122281), and 'and to Eber' with compound preposition (S122283). Multilingual translations uniformly identify one person: Spanish 'Heber / Éber,' Hindi 'एवेर / एबेर,' Arabic 'عَابِرَ / عَابِرُ / عابِر,' Korean '에벨,' Swahili 'Eberi.' No semantic distinction exists between the clusters beyond grammatical inflection. 15×
