◄ 3528. kebar ►
Strong's Lexicon kebar: Already, long ago Original Word: כְּבָר Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: kbar Pronunciation: keh-bar Phonetic Spelling: (keb-awr') Definition: Already, long ago Meaning: extent of time, a great while, long ago, formerly, hitherto Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be already or to be long ago. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "already" or "long ago" in Greek can be found in words like ἤδη (ēdē - Strong's Greek 2235), which also conveys the sense of something that has already occurred or is presently true. Usage: The Hebrew word "kebar" is used to denote something that has occurred in the past or has been completed. It conveys the sense of something that is already done or has been established long ago. This adverb is used to emphasize the completion or the longstanding nature of an action or state. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Hebrew context, time was often viewed in terms of events and their completion. The use of "kebar" reflects a cultural understanding of time as a series of completed actions or established facts. This perspective is evident in the Hebrew Bible, where historical events and divine actions are often recounted to affirm God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises.
