The Hebrew language is one of the world's oldest. The word comes from Eber, the son of Shem. Eber comes from the word “ever” meaning “region across or beyond”. Eber is the great grandson of Noah and an ancestor of Abraham. Shem is called the father of all the sons of Eber, so Hebrew descendants are called Semites.
