Hebrewn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈhiːbruː/, U.S.

/ˈhiˌbru/

Forms: (Old English (plural) Ebréas), Middle English–1500s Ebreu, Middle English Ebru, Ebrewe, Hebru, Hebreu, Scottish Hebrow, Middle English–1500s Scottish (plural) Hebreis, Middle English–1600s Ebrew, Middle English–1600s Hebrewe, 1500s Ebrue, Hebrieu, 1500s–1600s Hebrue, Middle English– Hebrew.

Etymology: Middle English Ebreu, < Old French Ebreu, Ebrieu (nominative Ebreus, 12th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter), < medieval Latin Ebrę̄us for classical Latin Hebræus, < Greek Ἑβραῖος, < Aramaic ʿebrai, corresponding to Hebrew ʿibrī ‘a Hebrew’, lit. ‘one from the other side (of the river)’; < ʿēber the region on the other or opposite side; < ʿābar to cross or pass over. Compare the Septuagint, Genesis xiv. 13 Ἀβρὰμ ὁ περατής, ‘Abram the passer-over’ or ‘immigrant’, for Abrām haʿibrī ‘Abram the Hebrew’. At the revival of learning the initial H was resumed after classical Latin in French and English. (The Old English Ebréas was immediately < medieval Latin Ebrēi.) To the Aramaic form on which the Greek word was fashioned is due the stem Ἑβρα-, Hebra-, in Hebraic, Hebraist, Hebraize, etc.

A. n.

a. A person belonging to the Semitic tribe or nation descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; an Israelite, a Jew. (Historically, the term is usually applied to the early Israelites; in modern use it avoids the religious and other associations often attaching to Jew.)
