The name that is transliterated as “Eber” in English is translated in Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) with a sign that shows him as a one of Jesus’ ancestors, linking Jesus to the lineage of the Hebrews (“Hebrews” historically was understood as coming from “Eber” ). Therefore, the sign shows “descended from the Hebrew people.” (Source: Missão Kophós )
