Chebar (כְּבָר, kevar). A canal in Babylon. Ezekiel received his visions while living near there (Ezek 1:1, 3; 3:15, 23; 10:15, 20, 22; 43:3).
Chebar was thought to be identical with the river Habor in northern Mesopotamia, to which the Assyrians exiled some of the Israelites (2 Kgs 17:6). However, this is too far north to be part of the “land of the Chaldeans” (Ezek 1:3). Chebar is equivalent to the nar Kabari near Nippur, mentioned in Babylonian records.
