Kebar
Beskrywing
rivier in die land van die Chaldeërs [Eseg 1:3 ], waar sommige Israeliete geplaas is tydens die ballingskap en waar Esegiël verskeie belangrike visioene gehad het [Eseg 1:1 ; 3:15,23; 10:15,20]. Ch. word gewoonlik geïdentifiseer met *Chabor of *Gosan, waar ook 'n deel van die gevangenes was [2Kon 17:6 ]. Dit is slegs 'n vermoede. Ch. van Esegiël word volgens sommige beskou as Naru Malcha, die grootste koninklike kanaal van Nebukadnesar suidoos van die stad Babilon.

Chebar
length, a river in the "land of the Chaldeans" (Ezek 1:3), on the banks of which were located some of the Jews of the Captivity (Ezek 1:1; 3:15; 3:23; 10:15; 10:20; 10:22). It has been supposed to be identical with the river Habor, the Chaboras, or modern Khabour, which falls into the Euphrates at Circesium. To the banks of this river some of the Israelites were removed by the Assyrians (2Kings 17:6). An opinion that has much to support it is that the "Chebar" was the royal canal of Nebuchadnezzar, the Nahr Malcha, the greatest in Mesopotamia, which connected the Tigris with the Euphrates, in the excavation of which the Jewish captives were probably employed.
