Semantic domains 3 entries

The domain is bundle-shared with the common noun חֶבֶר (cheber, H2267). See חֶבֶר (cheber, H2267).
Divination002003003009: This entry carries no independent “Divination” sense of its own; every tagged occurrence names the person Heber, as in “Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, from the sons of Hobab” (Judges 4:11).
