The name that is transliterated as “Eber” in English means “he who passed over,” “the region beyond.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )
In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that shows him as a one of Jesus’ ancestors, linking Jesus to the lineage of the Hebrews (“Hebrews” historically was understood as coming from “Eber” ). Therefore, the sign shows “descended from the Hebrew people.” (Source: Missão Kophós )
