Why did God honor Eber and give them the Hebrew Language and why did He allow the descendants of Eber to be called Hebrews?
The Hebrew word "EH-vehr" (עבר) means "beyond". Abraham's people were called Ivrim (עברים) because they came from "beyond the river". God didn't give them this name. People did. God didn't give any language to anyone; language evolved naturally, in spite of what you may be taught within a particular religion.
