The river in the land of the Chaldeans, near to which Ezekiel was dwelling, when some of his visions were revealed to him (Ezek. 1:1,3¹Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. (Ezekiel 1:1)
³The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him. (Ezekiel 1:3); Ezek. 3:15¹⁵Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days. (Ezekiel 3:15)). Some identify it with the Habor, but this is only conjecture, and others consider the Habor to be much too far north.
