CHEBAR . A canal in Babylonia ( Ezekiel 1:1 ff.) beside which the principal colony of the first Exile of Judah was planted. It has been identified by the Pennsylvania expedition with the canal Kabaru , named in cuneiform documents of the time of Artaxerxes i. It apparently lay to the east of Nippur. The name means ‘great.’ Hence for ‘the river Chebar’ we may read ‘the Grand Canal.’
