[כִּבְרָה] noun feminine apparently distance, only in the phrase (ה)ארץ כִּבְרַת a distance of land or length of way, Genesis 35:16 כ עוֺד ׳וַיְהִי ׳ה אֶפְרָתָה לָכוֺא, 48:7 כ ׳בְּעוֺד ׳א אֶפְרָתָה לָבאֹ, 2 Kings 5:19 כ מֵאִתּוֺ ׳וַיֵּלֶךְ אָ֑רֶץ. The distance meant is uncertain, but from 5:19 it would seem to have been a short one; see further DiGenesis 35:16 and Thes (Assyrian kibrâti is a (widely extended) territory, quarter of the world, etc., DlHWB 315; according to Hoffm.GGAbh. xxxvi (1890), 23-25 perhaps the distance that one can see).
