Kebar
Beskrivelse
flod i kaldæernes land [Ez 1:3 ], hvor nogle israelitter blev placeret under fangenskabet, og hvor Ezekiel havde flere betydningsfulde syner [Ez 1:1 ; Ez 3:15 ,23; Ez 10:15 ,20]. Ch. bliver sædvanligvis identificeret med *Chabor eller *Gozan, hvor en del af fangerne også var [2Kong 17:6 ]. Det er blot en formodning. Ch. Ezekiels flod er ifølge nogle Naru Malcha, den største kongelige kanal af Nebukadnezar 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.
