1 region across or beyond anything (usually wady, river, or sea), mostly with preposition:בְּעֵבֶר אַרְנוֺן Numbers 21:13 (JE) Judges 11:18, compare Jeremiah 25:22; הַיָּם׳אֶלעֿ Deuteronomy 30:13b, מַעֵבֶר לַיָּם Deuteronomy 30:13 a beyond the sea; לְנַהֲרֵיכֿוּשׁ׳מֵע Isaiah 18:1, compare ׳עַדמֵֿע 1 Kings 4:12 (מִן on the side of, on, see מִן

1 c; so usually with׳ע); but also (rarely) ׳מֵע from the other side of Zephaniah 3:10; Job 1:19; 2 Chronicles 20:2; absolute ׳הַע 1 Samuel 26:13 to the other side (that Isaiah , of a ravine; after וַיַּעֲבֹר); בְּעֵבֶר הָעֵמֶק 1 Samuel 31:7, read perhaps ׳בְּעָרֵי הָע, so Klo Bu HPS; בְּעֶבְרֵי פִיפָֿ֑חַת Jeremiah 48:28 beyond the mouth of a chasm is dubious; Gie proposes בְּחֹרֵי כֵפֵי בַתֹּת in the rock-holes of the precipices; especially (chiefly Hexateuch, 37t.) הַיַּרְדֵּן׳ע (30t.), or (less often, Joshua 13:32 13t.), לַיַּרְדֵּן, לְיַרְדֵּן יְרֵחוֺ (only with ׳מֵע), of either east Jordan (36t.) or west Jordan land (9t.) according to standpoint of speaker or writer:

A. east Jordan (from standpoint of writer) Genesis 50:10,11 (J) Joshua 17:5 (JE) Deuteronomy 1:1,5; Deuteronomy 4:41,46,47,49; Joshua 1:14; Joshua 12:1; Joshua 13:8 (D), Numbers 22:1; Numbers 32:19; Numbers 34:15; Joshua 13:27,32; Joshua 14:3; Joshua 20:8 (P), Judges 7:25; Judges 10:8; 1 Samuel 31:7; Isaiah 8:23; 1 Chronicles 6:63; 1 Chronicles 12:37; from standpoint of speaker, Joshua 7:7 (JE), Joshua 24:8 (E), Joshua 1:15; Joshua 2:10; Joshua 9:10; Joshua 18:7; Joshua 22:4 (D), Judges 5:17; in Numbers 35:14 (Moses speaks) it is land opposed to to Can., compare Numbers 32:32; in Deuteronomy 3:8 (Moses speaks) writer (D) ascribes his own standpoint to Moses; (often further topographical note is added, e.g. מִזְרָ֫חָה Deuteronomy 4:49 +, מִזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ Joshua 1:15 +, etc.); ׳אֶלעֵֿבֶר בְּנֵי יִשְׂר Joshua 22:11 toward the region opposite the sons of Israel apparently also refers to east side (see Steuern on text).

B. West Jordan (9t.), from standpoint of speaker Deuteronomy 3:20,25 (Moses), also Deuteronomy 11:30 (but here + מְכוֺא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ, and in all following some special designation of West), + יָ֫מָּה Joshua 5:1 (D; from standpoint of those just crossed), Joshua 12:7 ( opposite East Joshua 12:1-6), Joshua 22:7 ( id.; Kt מעבר, Qr בְּעֵבֶר), compare Joshua 9:1 (as Joshua 5:1); + וָהָ֑לְאָה Numbers 32:19 a ( opposite East v b); in 1 Chronicles 26:30 מַעֲרָ֑בָה׳לַיַּר ׳מֵע׳ע seems = side (see below). Also הַנָּהָר׳בְּע beyond the river (Euphrates) Joshua 24:2,14,15 (E; Kt Qr ׳מֵע), ׳מֵע 2 Samuel 10:16 = 1 Chronicles 19:16 beyond, and 1 Kings 14:5 to the other side of (see מִן 1 c); ׳מֵע from beyond the river only Joshua 24:3 (E), in all these = beyond the Euphrase eastward, from standpoint of those west of Euphrase; so plural ׳בְּעֶבְרֵי הַנּ Isaiah 7:20; possibly also ׳ע alone (si vera lectio) in the difficult passage Numbers 24:24; הַנָּהָר׳ע = region beyond the river (Euphrase) westward (from standpoint of those in Babylonia or Persia) Nehemiah 2:7,9; Nehemiah 3:7; Ezra 8:36; also 1 Kings 5:4 (twice in verse) (written in Babylonian; compare Biblical Aramaic עֲבַר, and Dr Intr (6) 504). ** Compare late Assyrian ebir nari Schr KB iv. 304, l. 7 from below; KAT 3. 188,437.

2 (Opposite) side, side: הַלָּז׳מֵע 1 Samuel 14:1 on yonder side seems transition to this meaning; מִזֶּה׳מֵהָע twice, 1 Samuel 14:4 = on one side, on the other side, so אֶחָד׳לְע twice 1 Samuel 14:40; even מִשְּׁנֵי עִבְרֵיהֶם Exodus 32:15 (E) on their two sides (i.e. of tablets); הָאֵפוֺד בָּ֑יְתָה׳אֶלעֿ Exodus 28:26 (P) toward the inner side of theephod; in 1 Kings 7:20,30 ׳ע apparently = at the side of or opposite, but the architectural details are obscure; מִכָּלעֲֿבָרָיו מִסָּבִיב 1 Kings 5:4 on all sides of him, round about, מִכָּלעֲֿבָרָיו Jeremiah 49:32 (read עֶבְרֵיהֶם Vrss Gie) from all sides of them (all directions, = מִכָּלסְֿבִיבָ֑יִךְ Jeremiah 49:5); אֶלעֵֿבֶר מָּנָיו יֵלֵ֑כוּ to the side of their faces (i.e. in front, straight forward) they (always) went Ezekiel 1:9,12; Ezekiel 10:22, compare מָּנֶיהָ׳עַלעֿ Exodus 25:37 to give light upon the space in front of it; אִישׁ לְעֶבְרוֺ תָּעוּ Isaiah 47:15 they wander away each in his own direction (regardless of thee). — On 1 Chronicles 26:30 see above

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

עֵבֶר m. with suff. עֶבְרוֹ

(1)  region on the other side, situated across a stream, or the sea. עֵבֶר אַרְנוֹן the region situated across the Arnon, Judges 11:18 בְּעֵבֶר הַיָּם in the region beyond the sea, Jeremiah 25:22 especially עֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן τὸ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, the region of Palestine beyond Jordan, i.e. situated to the east of Jordan, Genesis 50:10, 11 Genesis 50:11; Deuteronomy 1:1, 3:8, 20, 25 4:41, 46, 47 Joshua 1:14, 15 Joshua 1:15, 2:10 9:10 12:1 13:8, 32 Joshua 13:32, 14:3 17:5 20:8 22:4 Judges 5:17 Isa. 8:23 although the same expression is used five times, Joshua 5:1, 9:1 12:7 1 Chronicles 26:30, of the region on this side Jordan, by a later usage of language which seems to have arisen in the Babylonish captivity; [but observe it is so found in Joshua]. Similar also is the phrase עֵבֶר הַנָּהָר the region beyond the Euphrates, Joshua 24:2, Joshua 24:3; 2 Samuel 10:16; 1 Chronicles 19:16 which is used of provinces on this side, i.e. west of the Euphrates, 1 Kings 5:4; Ezra 8:36; Nehemiah 2:7 (compare Ch. Ezra 4:10, 16 Ezra 4:16); all of which were written by men living to the east of the Euphrates. [?] Plur. עֶבְרֵי נָהָר the regions beyond the Euphrates, Isaiah 7:20.

(2) the opposite region, a region over against, the opposite side, whether there be a valley or whatever else may be between. 1 Samuel 26:13, וַיַּעֲבֹר דָּוִר הָעֵבֶר “and David went over to the other side,” i.e. a mountain situated opposite. Hence, in opposition to each other, are put מֵהָעֵבֶר מִזֶּה and מֵהָעֵבֶר מִזֶּה 1 Samuel 14:4 and לְעֵבֶר אֶחָד, לְעֵבֶר אֶחָד ib. ver. 40; Exodus 28:26. Pl. מִכָּל־עֲבָרָיו from all sides, Jeremiah 49:32 מִשְּׁנֵי עֶבְרֵיהֶם on both sides, Exodus 32:15.

(3) with prefixes it often becomes a prep.

(a) אֶל־עֵבֶר (α) to the region beyond, Deuteronomy 30:13.

(β) to the opposite region, Joshua 22:11.

(γ) towards a region, towards, Exodus 28:26. More fully

(δ) אֶל עֵבֶר פָּנָיו towards the region opposite one’s face, i.e. right before one (Borwärts, gerade vor fich hin), Ezekiel 1:9, 12 Ezekiel 1:12, 10:22. עַל עֵבֶר פּ׳ idem, Exodus 25:37.

(b) לְעֶבְרוֹ i.q. אֶל עֶבְרוֹ straight before one, Isaiah 47:15.

(c) מֵעֵבֶר followed by a genit. and suff. and מֵעֵבֶר לְ (α) from the other side, from beyond, after verbs of motion, Joshua 24:3; Zephaniah 3:10.

(β) beyond, e.g. לַיָּם, מֵעֵבֶל beyond the sea, Deuteronomy 30:13 מֵעֵבֶר לְנַהֲרֵי כוּשׁ beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, Isaiah 18:1.

(4) pr.n. Eber

(a) the ancestor of the race of the Hebrews, Genesis 10:24, 25 Genesis 10:25, 11:14, 15 Genesis 11:15(see my observations on this, Gesch. d. Hebr. Sprache u. Schrift, p. 11); hence בְּנֵי עֵבֶר Genesis 10:21 and poet. עֵבֶר Numbers 24:24, i.q. עִבְרִים Hebrews; as to the difference between this and Israelites, see under עִבְרִי.

(b) Nehemiah 12:20.

(c) 1 Chronicles 8:12.

(d) 1 Chronicles 8:22.

(e) 1 Chronicles 5:13.
