Man living at the time of the Patriarchs
Eber
Shelah’s son, and the ancestor of “all the children of Eber” (Genesis 10:21). He was 34 when Peleg was born and lived 464 years in all (Genesis 11:16–17). Many take the word Hebrew from his name, and Abram is the first person the Bible calls “the Hebrew” (Genesis 14:13). His sons were Peleg and Joktan (Genesis 10:25).
The word 'Hebrew' is often linked to his name. Outlived Abraham by 4 years.
