Kebar
Beskrivelse
flod i kaldeernes land [Ez 1:3 ], hvor nogle israelitter blev placeret under fangenskabet, og hvor Ezekiel havde flere betydningsfulde visioner [Ez 1:1 ; Ez 3:15 ,23; Ez 10:15 ,20]. Ch. bliver almindeligvis identificeret med *Chabor eller *Gozan, hvor der også var en del af fangerne [2Kong 17:6 ]. Dette er kun en formodning. Ch. Ezekiels er ifølge nogle Naru Malcha, den største kongelige kanal af Nebukadnesar sydøst for byen Babylon.

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.
