Berean Strong's Lexicon Kebar: Kebar Original Word: כְּבָר Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: Kebar Pronunciation: keh-VAHR Phonetic Spelling: (keb-awr') Definition: Kebar Meaning: Kebar Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Kebar," as it is a specific geographical location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "Kebar" refers to a river or canal in Babylonia, near which the prophet Ezekiel received visions from God. It is a significant location in the Book of Ezekiel, symbolizing the place of God's revelation to His people during their exile. Cultural and Historical Background: The Kebar River, likely a canal off the Euphrates, was situated in the region of Babylon where the Jewish exiles were settled after the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC. This area was a center of Jewish life and religious activity during the Babylonian captivity. The river's mention highlights the geographical and spiritual displacement of the Israelites, yet also underscores God's presence with them even in foreign lands.
