Where Chebar appears in Scripture
וַיְהִי׀ בִּשְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה בָּֽרְבִיעִי בַּחֲמִשָּׁה לַחֹדֶשׁ וַאֲנִי בְתֽוֹךְ-הַגּוֹלָה עַל-נְהַר-כְּבָר נִפְתְּחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וָאֶרְאֶה מַרְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
הָיֹה הָיָה דְבַר-יְהוָה אֶל-יְחֶזְקֵאל בֶּן-בּוּזִי הַכֹּהֵן בְּאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים עַל-נְהַר-כְּבָר וַתְּהִי עָלָיו שָׁם יַד-יְהוָֽה׃
The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
וָאָבוֹא אֶל-הַגּוֹלָה תֵּל אָבִיב הַיֹּשְׁבִים אֶֽל-נְהַר-כְּבָר (ואשר) וָֽאֵשֵׁב הֵמָּה יוֹשְׁבִים שָׁם וָאֵשֵׁב שָׁם שִׁבְעַת יָמִים מַשְׁמִים בְּתוֹכָֽם׃
Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
וָאָקוּם וָאֵצֵא אֶל-הַבִּקְעָה וְהִנֵּה-שָׁם כְּבוֹד-יְהוָה עֹמֵד כַּכָּבוֹד אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי עַל-נְהַר-כְּבָר וָאֶפֹּל עַל-פָּנָֽי׃
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.
וַיֵּרֹמּוּ הַכְּרוּבִים הִיא הַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי בִּֽנְהַר-כְּבָֽר׃
And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
הִיא הַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי תַּחַת אֱלֹהֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּֽנְהַר-כְּבָר וָאֵדַע כִּי כְרוּבִים הֵֽמָּה׃
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
וּדְמוּת פְּנֵיהֶם הֵמָּה הַפָּנִים אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי עַל-נְהַר-כְּבָר מַרְאֵיהֶם וְאוֹתָם אִישׁ אֶל-עֵבֶר פָּנָיו יֵלֵֽכוּ׃
And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
וּכְמַרְאֵה הַמַּרְאֶה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי כַּמַּרְאֶה אֲשֶׁר-רָאִיתִי בְּבֹאִי לְשַׁחֵת אֶת-הָעִיר וּמַרְאוֹת כַּמַּרְאֶה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי אֶל-נְהַר-כְּבָר וָאֶפֹּל אֶל-פָּנָֽי׃
And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
