[
1913 Webster ]
Hebrew a name applied to the Israelites in Scripture only by one who is a foreigner (
Gen .
39 :
14 ,
17 ;
41 :
12 ,
etc .),
or by the Israelites when they speak of themselves to foreigners (
40 :
15 ;
Ex .
1 :
19 ),
or when spoken of an contrasted with other peoples (
Gen .
43 :
32 ;
Ex .
1 :
3 ,
7 ,
15 ;
Deut .
15 :
12 ).
In the New Testament there is the same contrast between Hebrews and foreigners (
Acts 6 :
1 ;
Phil .
3 :
5 ).
Derivation . (
1 .)
The name is derived ,
according to some ,
from Eber (
Gen .
10 :
24 ),
the ancestor of Abraham .
The Hebrews are "
sons of Eber " (
10 :
21 ).
(
2 .)
Others trace the name of a Hebrew root -
word signifying "
to pass over ,"
and hence regard it as meaning "
the man who passed over ,"
viz .,
the Euphrates ;
or to the Hebrew word meaning "
the region "
or "
country beyond ,"
viz .,
the land of Chaldea .
This latter view is preferred .
It is the more probable origin of the designation given to Abraham coming among the Canaanites as a man from beyond the Euphrates (
Gen .
14 :
13 ).
(
3 .)
A third derivation of the word has been suggested ,
viz .,
that it is from the Hebrew word _ '
abhar_ , "
to pass over ,"
whence _ '
ebher_ ,
in the sense of a "
sojourner "
or "
passer through "
as distinct from a "
settler "
in the land ,
and thus applies to the condition of Abraham (
Heb .
11 :
13 ).
