Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

I. [כָּבַר] verb be much, many (Assyrian kabâru, be great, mighty; kabru, great, huge; Arabic

be great, in body, rank, or age,

great, noble, aged; Ethiopic

be honoured, magnified;

honoured, glorious; Sabean epithet כבר Hal^{Et. Sab. JAs Dec. 1874, No. 90}; Syriac

for Hebrew רָבָה, הִרְבָּה,

(rare) much; Zinjirli be abundant, numerous) —

Hiph`il (only Elihu) make many, Job 35:16 בִּבְלִי דַעַת מִלִּין יַכְבִּר (compare וְיֶרֶב אֲמָרָיו Job 34:37) > make great, Bu^{Beitr. 138}, comparing Job 8:2; מַכְבִּיר with the force of a substantive (Ew^{§ 160 c}) Job 36:31 לְמַכְֶבִּיריתן אכל giveth food in abundance (= prose לָרֹב, e.g. 2 Chronicles 11:23).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

כָּבַר unused in Kal

(1) pr. to bind together, to plait, to braid, i.q. כָּבַל and the roots therewith compared (also כָּמַר No. II). Hence כְּבִיר plaited mattress, כְּבָרָה sieve, מַכְבֵּר coarse cloth, מִכְבָּר net work. Like many other words of twisting, plaiting, binding (גָּדַל, חוּל, קָשַׁר, קָוָה), it is applied to strength and magnitude. Hence

(2) to be great, to be much, also to be long, continual, see כְּבָר, כִּבְרָה. (Arabic كَبُرَ to be great, powerful, كَبِرَ to grow up, to be advanced in years, Syr. ܟܒܰܪ to increase, to grow up, Eth. ከብረ፡ to be glorious, illustrious.)

Hiphil, to make much, to multiply, Job 35:16. Part. מַכְבִּיר subst. (of the form מַשְׁחִית) abundance, with לְ prefixed, לְמַכְבֹּיר i.q. לָרֹב plentifully, much. Job 36:31.

Derived nouns, see under Kal No. 1, also כַּבִּיר and those which immediately follow.
