Numbers 1:14

1:14 from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel; ¹ 

Numbers 2:14

2:14 Next will be ²  the tribe of Gad. The leader of the people of Gad is Eliasaph son of Deuel. ³ 

¹ tc There is a textual difficulty with this verb. The Greek form uses r and not d, giving the name Ra‘oul. There is even some variation in the Hebrew traditions, but BHS (following the Leningrad codex of a.d. 1008) has preferred the name Deuel.

² tn The Hebrew text simply has “and the tribe of Gad.”

³ tc The Leningrad codex, upon which BHS is based, has “Reuel” here. In reading “Deuel” the translation presented above follows many medieval Hebrew manuscripts, Smr, and the Latin Vulgate. Cf. Num 1:14.
