Eber


Eber is an ancestor of the Israelites, according to the Table of Nations in Genesis 1011 and 1160Chronicles 1. He was a greatgrandson of Noahs son Shem and the father of Peleg born when Eber wasyears old, and of Joktan. He was the son of Shelah a distant ancestor of Abraham. According to the Hebrew Bible, Shelah died at the age of 464 when Jacob was 20. The Hebrew Calendar synchronises this date with 1817 BCE, however numerous other dates have been proposed for the patriarchs in Genesis.

In the Septuagint and other Christian Bibles derived from it, Eber is called Heber and his father is called Sala. His son is called Phaleg, born when Heber was 134 years old, and he had other sons and daughters. Heber lived to an age of 404 years.
