This page redirects to yeberim.

'Heyeberi' (also pronounced 'hebri' or 'habiru') refers to the “Hebrews” - the main character group of the Hebrew texts.

For the sake of consistently, we should really list this word under yeberim, ignoring the 'he' prefix as we usually do (for the usual good reasons discussed at affixes). This page has been included with the prefix in order to highlight the etymological evolution through yeberim –> yebiri –> heyeberi –> Hebrew

Dropping the prefix makes it more clear that the 'yeberim' take their name from yeber (aka Eber), a character from Genesis who was Abraham's great-great-great-great-grandfather.

Please see yeberim for further information.
