Talk:Eber

message: 1.The name Eber appears 3 times in the Bible (twice in Genesis, once in 1 Chronicles), where he is said to be the son of Peleg & Joktan. Where does it say he was the father of the Hebrews? Please provide citations from the text.

Cutting & pasting URLs is about as much time I am going to devote to satisfying your singling out me to proove common knowledge. Perhaps someone else who has more time & sympathy for you (I don't ask for support in my vindication) will indulge you with references from literature. Zestauferov 05:55, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Eber & Hebrews

message: If one know Bible truths, one will be able to decipher truth from fiction with respect to religious materials and the Bible.  The genealogy in the Bible is accurate and the story of Noah is one where Noah refers to God as being "the god of Shem."  It is Shem, whose faith in God, apparently is approved and it is from Shem whom Abram descends.  Eber is in the line of Abram, about six generations prior to Abram.  The term Hebrew comes from the name Eber.  The name Eber and Heber or not identical and therefore not the same.  Both names occur in different time periods and both have different meanings.  Originally, descendants of Eber were called Eberites.  Later, that was mistakenly changed to Hebrews.  Originally descendants of Eber looked to Shem as their forefather or family patriarch and, as time and tribal groupings change, new associations form and people branch-off idealogically.  Descendants of Eber would call themselves, possibly, Shemites.  Later, other descendants of Shem would separate themselves from and call themselves Eberites and so goes mankind and world history.  Descendants of Jobab, great-grandson of Eber, for example, go by the surname of Jo and still, today, refer to themselves as Shemites or as Hebrews in today's world.
Notation: I, Lester D.K. Chow, posted this article using a pseudonym "Eber's Son".  I am an actual descendant of Eber and I have the genealogy records to show that I am.

message: I changed the identifier of Eber with Hammurabi to Charles N. Pope, as it was not Ahmed Osman who did it, rather, Mr. Pope was just basing his theory on Mr. Osman's.
Hello,
If Charles N Pope is not Ahmed Osman writing with double Identities, may I ask who Charles N Pope is and where can we find his biography? Thank You.Observer HG13 (talk) 08:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a source for saying that Eber and his family refused to build the Tower of Babel, and thus retained the original human language?  I didn't see it in Genesis 11. Kebis 22:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Since there is no basis for the claim that Hūd and Eber are the same, I will remove the following statement "The Qur'an discusses a prophet named Hud who was sent to the people of 'Ad (عاد). He may be the same person as Eber." from the main article.

message: This important map http://restorationlibrary.org/library_restoration/AOBH/AOBH_016_A.jpg can explain where the descendants of Israelites came from and this map http://www.jesus-kashmir-tomb.com/sitebuilder/images/Map_to_Graves-691x418.jpg also support the future research. Long times ago before Ramayana, Yayati's sons Anu and Turvasu migrated from east to the west, from whom arose the Yavana and Turvk. After the Mahabharata Yadava and Abhira also migrated there from India. The word Yadava became Yada, while Abhira became Habhir (Eber) (Latin: Hebrew). Bocah anon (talk) 10:45, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have any peer-reviewed material by modern, accredited scientists who actually have kept track of the past century of anthropological and genetic studies, and who have given up on nationalistic biases?  Because the material you're presenting doesn't look like that. You have a map from a Sunday school in 1880 (before any real study of genetics had begun, and at a time when all anthropological study had nationalistic, even racist, biases), and a map from a tourist trap.  Those don't amount to any sort of evidence.  You also don't have any hard evidence for your attempted etymologies, there's nothing to show they aren't false cognates.

thread_title:  Editing 

message: Indo-European language-culture developed in Anatolia around the 6th or 7th Millenia BC(Quentin Atkinson) and also that the Semitic Language developed in the area of what is now Syria and Lebanon approximately 3500-4000BC. 'Avar' in the ancient Language of the mittani means 'fertile' or 'productive' as in the land and agricultural past. Eber is either the Semitic name for the Mittani Avar or it is a loan word into the Semitic language from the Ancient Mittani.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rsavari23 (talk • contribs) 02:51, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
