About Deuel

Deuel was the father of Eliasaph. Eliasaph led the tribe of Gad during the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites (Numbers 1:14; 7:42, 47; 10:20). In Numbers 2:14, most manuscripts spell his name Reuel. Some others spell it Deuel. This is due to a confusing similarity between the Hebrew letters for “d” and “r.”
