עֵ֣בֶר
𐤏𐤁𐤓
ʻêber
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.

far side
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (proper-name form in some usages), absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from עבר (“to cross over, go beyond”) and denotes that which lies across a boundary. "Far side" preserves the concrete spatial sense of a region beyond or opposite without importing verse-specific geography. |
