Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root עֵבֶר (Eber), referring to Eber, an ancestor of several Semitic peoples, including the Israelites.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1445: Ἑβραῖος (Hebraios) • A Greek term used in the New Testament to refer to Hebrews or Jews, reflecting the same ethnic and cultural identity as עִבְרִי (Ivri) in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term עִבְרִי (Ivri) is used in the Hebrew Bible to identify individuals or groups as Hebrews, often in contrast to other ethnic or national groups. It is used to describe the ethnic identity of the Israelites, particularly in contexts where their distinctiveness from surrounding peoples is emphasized.

Context: The term עִבְרִי (Ivri) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a designation for the descendants of Eber, a significant figure in the genealogies of Genesis. Eber is listed as a great-grandson of Shem, one of Noah's sons, and is considered an ancestor of the Hebrew people. The term "Hebrew" is used to describe the ethnic identity of the Israelites, particularly in narratives that highlight their interactions with other groups.

In the book of Genesis, the term is first used in Genesis 14:13, where Abram (later Abraham) is referred to as "Abram the Hebrew." This designation underscores Abram's identity as a member of a distinct ethnic group, separate from the Canaanites and other peoples of the region. The term is also used in the context of the Israelites' enslavement in Egypt, as seen in Exodus 1:15, where the Hebrew midwives are mentioned.

The use of עִבְרִי (Ivri) serves to emphasize the covenantal relationship between God and the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are collectively known as the Hebrews. This identity is central to the narrative of the Hebrew Bible, as it underscores the unique role of the Israelites as God's chosen people, set apart for a special purpose in the divine plan.
