Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition
עַכְבָּר m. a mouse, especially a field mouse, 1 Samuel 6:4, 1 Samuel 6:5, 11 1 Samuel 6:11, 18 1 Samuel 6:18; Leviticus 11:29 but some esculent species of dormouse appears to be meant, Isaiah 66:17. Indeed, Arab. عَكْبَرُ is i.q. يَرْبُوعُ χοιρογρύλλιος, an animal good for food, like a rabbit, mus jaculus, Linn. See Bochart in Hieroz. t. i. p. 1017, who regards this word as being compounded of the Chaldee עכל to devour, and בַּר a field (l being elided); I prefer from עַכֵּל to devour, to digest food, and בַּר in the signification of corn. [But see עָכַב.]
