rōō?el (רעוּאל, re‛ū'ēl, ?God is his friend?; the Septuagint Ῥαγουήλ, Rhagouḗl):
(1) In the genealogical system Reuel is both a son of Esau by Basemath (Gen_36:4, Gen_36:10, Gen_36:13, Gen_36:17; 1Ch_1:35, 1Ch_1:37) and the father of the father-in-law of Moses, Hobab (Num_10:29). In the account of the marriage of Zipporah to Moses (Exo_2:16-21) Jethro seems to be called Reuel (compare HOBAB). The various names of Jethro perplexed the Talmudists, too; some held that his real name was ?Hobab,? and that Reuel was his father. Reuel is probably a clan name (Gray, ?Nu,? ICC), and Hobab is a member of the clan (?son?) of Reuel (Num_10:29, the King James Version reads ?Raguel?).
(2) The father of Eliasaph, the prince of Gad (Num_2:14), called (by some copyist's mistake) ?Deuel? in Num_1:14; Num_7:42, Num_7:47; Num_10:20. The Septuagint has uniformly Rhagouēl.
(3) A Benjamite (1Ch_9:8).

Reuel
(Heb. Reiel', רְעוּאֵל, friend of God; Sept. ῾Ραγουήλ; A.V. Raguel [Num_10:29]), the name of three or four men.
1. A son of Esau by Bashemath (Gen_36:4; Gen_36:10; 1Ch_1:35; 1Ch_1:37); his four sons (Gen_36:13) were princes, i.e. chiefs of the Edomites (Gen_36:17). B.C. post 1963. SEE ESAU.
2. A Midianitish priest and nomadic herdsman in the wilderness, to whom Moses fled from Egypt, and whose daughter Zipporah he married (Exo_2:16 sq.); but in Exo_3:1; Exo_4:18, JETHRO is called father-in-law of Moses, and in 3:1 is made priest and herdsman. Various methods are suggested for meeting the difficulty:
(1.) Josephus (Ant. ii, 12,1) considers Reuel and Jethro as two names of one man. So Lengerke (Kenaan, i, 393) and Bertheau (Isr. Gesch. p. 242).
(2.) Aben-Ezra, followed by Rosenmiiller, understands by father in Exo_2:18, grandfather.
(3.) Ewald (Isr. Gesch. ii, 14) thinks Jethro son of has fallen out of the text before Reuel in Exodus ii, 18.
(4.) Ranke (Pentat. ii, 8) understands the word chothen', חֹתֵו, rendered father-in-law, to mean brother-in-law, and compares the ambiguous use of the Greek γαμβρός. We must then suppose that Jethro had succeeded to the priesthood and flocks of his deceased father (Exo_3:1).
(5.) Others find a double genealogical tradition (Hartmann, Pentat. p. 223 sq.; comp. De Wette, Einleit. ins A. T. p. 196). On this supposition the compiler must have been very careless. The third explanation derives no support from the fact that the Sept., in Exo_2:16, twice mentions Jethro as father of seven daughters. The translators might have considered Reuel as the grandfather, and this would support No. 2. The fourth supposition is forced. If we must decide for any particular view, it seems simplest to understand grandfather for father (Exo_2:18), since Reuel was the father of the house until Jethro acquired independence. SEE HOBAB; SEE RAGUEL.
3. Father of Eliasaph, the leader of the tribe of Gad at the time of the census at Sinai (Num_2:14). In the parallel passages (Num_1:14; Num_7:42; Num_7:47; Num_10:20) the name is given DEUEL SEE DEUEL (q.v.).
4. Son of Ibnijah, father of Shephatiah (1Ch_9:8), of the tribe of Benjamin. B.C. ante 1618.
