Dear List Members,

It is well-known that Hebrew tradition traces the meaning of their
designation to the ancient ancestor Eber (Gen 11:14ff.). Is this
explanation credible, and why was this particular word found to be apt?
How do interested list members understand the meaning of this word (`br)
and how did it come to be applied to the Hebrews?

Thank you,

Lloyd Barre
