and so says the Targum of Jonathan on Ge 36:10; but he rather was the grandson of this man, since he is called the Temanite:and Bashemath bare Reuel; the name is the same with Reuel or Raguel, the name of Jethro; but cannot be the same person as is said by some, for he was a Midianite and not an Edomite, Ex 2:18.

Trad. Heb. in Gen. fol. 71. L. tom.
