<<In the [COLOR=#0000ff]Septuagint[/COLOR] and other Christian Bibles derived from it, Eber is called Heber and his father is called Sala. His son is called Phaleg, born when Heber was 134 years old, and he had other sons and daughters. Heber lived to an age of 404 years. ([COLOR=#0000ff]Septuagint Genesis 11:14-17[/COLOR])
In Jewish tradition, Eber, the great-grandson of [COLOR=#0000ff]Shem[/COLOR], [SIZE=3]refused to help with the building of the [COLOR=#0000ff]Tower of Babel[/COLOR][/SIZE], so his language was not confused when it was abandoned. He and his family alone retained the original human language, [COLOR=#0000ff]Hebrew[/COLOR], a language named after Eber (Heber), also called lingua humana in [COLOR=#0000ff]Latin[/COLOR]. (There are different religious positions on this issue; see also [COLOR=#0000ff]Adamic language[/COLOR].)
The name "Ever" עבר (Hebrew root letters ayin ע, bet/vet ב and reish ר, transliterated in English to "Eber" or "Heber") along with the name [COLOR=#0000ff]Habiru[/COLOR] are considered by Biblical scholars to be the roots of the word "[COLOR=#0000ff]Hebrew[/COLOR]" (ivri עברי and ivrit עברית, in Hebrew), with "ever" most often meaning "side" or "beyond", but also region beyond or across, opposite side, or passage, as in me'ever מעבר and maavar מעבר in both Biblical and Modern Hebrew as spoken in [COLOR=#0000ff]Israel[/COLOR] today".>>
deci el este Heber, Cel care a zis Never!
iar prin Michael a aparut: Neverland...
