לְ/עֵ֣בֶר
𐤋/𐤏𐤁𐤓
ʻêber
by-the-side-of
A region or side that is across or beyond, typically used in reference to a space or area on the far side of a boundary, river, or landmark—most often the side opposite the speaker’s location. Frequently designates the territory or peoples east of the Jordan River (i.e., 'the other side', especially from the perspective west of the Jordan), but can refer generally to any land, quarter, or boundary region lying across or beyond a given point. In some contexts, used adverbially or prepositionally to indicate directionality, opposition, or passage to another side.

SIBI-P1 Translation H5676-07
to the far side
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ prefixed to masculine singular common noun עֵבֶר in the absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵבֶר denotes the region or side that is across or beyond a boundary. With the prefixed לְ ("to/toward"), the form expresses direction toward that crossed-over region, hence "to the far side," preserving both the root idea of מעבר (crossing/beyond) and the prepositional force. |
