Biography
A descendant of Shem and ancestor of Abraham, Eber lived 464 years and was the great-grandson of Shem. The Hebrews were named after him, as 'Hebrew' (Ibri) derives from his name. He was the father of Peleg, in whose days the earth was divided, likely referring to the division at Babel.
Eber gave his name to the Hebrew people and represents a key link in the line from Noah to Abraham, preserving the godly line through the post-flood world.
