Numbers 1:14 (King James Version)
Of Gad; Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
- Eliasaph
- 7:42 10:20
- Son of Reuel
- 2:14
- Deuel
- As the [d,] {daleth} is very like the [r,] {resh,} they might be easily mistaken for each other; and hence this person being called both Duel and Ruel, may be easily accounted for. The Septuagint and Syriac have Reuel, in this chapter; and in ch. 2:14 the Samaritan, Vulgate, and Arabic have Deuel, instead of Reuel, with which reading a vast number of MSS
- concur, and which is also supported by ch. 7:42 10:20 . We may therefore safely conclude, the Duel, and not Ruel, was the original reading.
