[כִּבְרָה] noun feminine apparently distance, only in the phrase כִּבְרַת (ה)ארץ a distance of land or length of way, Gen 35:16 לָכוֺא אֶפְרָתָה ׳ה ׳וַיְהִי עוֺד כ, Gen 48:7 לָבאֹ אֶפְרָתָה ׳א ׳בְּעוֺד כ, 2Kgs 5:19 אָ֑רֶץ ׳וַיֵּלֶךְ מֵאִתּוֺ כ. The distance meant is uncertain, but from 2Kgs 5:19 it would seem to have been a short one; see further DiGen 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).
