Strong's Lexicon Kebar: Kebar Original Word: כְּבָר Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: Kbar Pronunciation: keh-VAHR Phonetic Spelling: (keb-awr') Definition: Kebar Meaning: Kebar is a proper noun referring to a river or canal in Babylonia. Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be long or to lengthen. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun כְּבָר (Kebar), as it is a specific geographical location mentioned in the Old Testament without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. Usage: The term "Kebar" is used in the context of the Babylonian exile, specifically in the Book of Ezekiel, where it denotes the location by which the prophet Ezekiel received visions from God. Context: The Kebar River is mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel as the location where the prophet Ezekiel experienced several divine visions. It is described as a canal or river in the region of Babylonia, where the Jewish exiles were settled after being taken captive by the Babylonians. The Kebar is significant in the biblical narrative as it serves as the backdrop for Ezekiel's prophetic ministry. In Ezekiel 1:1, the prophet states, "In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God." This location is repeatedly mentioned throughout the book, emphasizing its importance as a place of revelation and divine communication. The exact identification of the Kebar River is uncertain, but it is generally thought to be a canal near the ancient city of Nippur, which was part of the extensive network of waterways in Mesopotamia.
