chebar |
2 definitions found From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Chebar length, a river in the "land of the Chaldeans" (Ezek. 1:3), on the banks of which were located some of the Jews of the Captivity (Ezek. 1:1; 3:15, 23; 10:15, 20, 22). It has been supposed to be identical with the river Habor, the Chaboras or modern Khabour which falls into the Euphrates at Circesium To the banks of this river some of the Israelites were removed by the Assyrians (2 Kings 17:6). An opinion that has much to support it is that the Chebar" was the royal canal of Nebuchadnezzar, the Nahr Malcha, the greatest in Mesopotamia, which connected the Tigris with the Euphrates, in the excavation of which the Jewish captives were probably employed. From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]: Chebar, force or strength
