הָבַר verb ? divide (so most, but dubious; Arabic cut into large pieces, cut up, is perhaps Denominative from a 'chunk' of meat; comparison of Arabic be acquainted with, skilled in (AW Kn Di) is also doubtful; if correct, then read חבר; but compare below) —

Qal Perfect3plural הברו Isaiah 47:13 Kt, Participle הֹבְרֵי Qr; הֹבְרֵ֯ו שָׁמַיִם הַחֹזִים בַּכּוֺכָּ בִים they that divide the heavens, that gaze at the stars (Kt would be rel. clause without אֲשֶׁר); ׳ה then refers to the distinguishing of signs of zodiac, or other astrological division of sky, compare Che; on zodiac in Babylon see JenKosmologie 57 ff; & on planets & constellations Idib. 95 ff. Epping & StrmAstronomisches aus Babylonian 109 ff.; — but text probably corrupt; GFM (June, 1892) suggests חֹקְרֵי (compare חקר אתהֿארץ Judges 18:2).
