In Gen. 14:13 we have the first use of the word Hebrew.
In the LXX it is περάτῃ which I take to mean "traveller, one who passes by, sojourns" etc.
So my question relates to the Hebrew of which I am just a little rusty.
Does הָעִבְרי come from עֹבֹר
meaning "to pass by"?
Is that why the LXX uses the word περάτῃ instead of Ἑβραῖον as it does a few chapters later in Gen. 39:14?
