Eliasaph: Numbers 7:42, Numbers 10:20, Son of Reuel, Numbers 2:14

Deuel: As the γ:, daleth: is very like the ψ:, resh:, they might be easily mistaken for each other; and hence this person being called both Deuel: and Reuel:, may be easily accounted for. The Septuagint and Syriac have Reuel:, in this chapter; and in Numbers 2:14, the Samaritan, Vulgate, and Arabic have Deuel:, instead of Reuel:, with which reading a vast number of manuscripts concur, and which is also supported by Numbers 7:42, Numbers 10:20. We may therefore safely conclude, the Deuel:, and not Reuel:, was the original reading.
