Numbers 1:14
from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;
BSB
ASV
Of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
KJV
Of Gad; Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
Eliasaph, the son of Deuel - This person is called Reuel, Num 2:14. As the ד daleth is very like the ר resh, it was easy to mistake the one for the other. The Septuagint and the Syriac have Reuel in this chapter; and in Num 2:14, the Vulgate, the Samaritan, and the Arabic have Deuel instead of Reuel, with which reading a vast number of MSS. concur; and this reading is supported by Num 10:20; we may safely conclude therefore that דעואל Deuel, not רעואל Reuel, was the original reading. See Kennicott.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
