REUEL

(Heb. rĕʿûʾēl)

1. A son of Keturah (Gen. 25:3 LXX).

2. The son of Esau and Basemath who founded the Edomite clan consisting of the tribes of his sons Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah (Gen. 36:4, 10-17; 1 Chr. 1:35-37).

3. The father-in-law of Moses and the father of Hobab (Exod. 2:18; Num. 10:29). Moses’ father-in-law is known also as Jethro (Exod. 3:1; 4:18; 18:1) and Hobab (Judg. 4:11; 1:16 LXX). Since there are no discrepancies besides their names, most scholars tend to see Jethro and Reuel as a single character. Interestingly, the names Hobab “beloved (of God)” and Reuel “friend of God” are essentially synonymous.

4. The father of Eliasaph, captain of the tribe of Gad (Num. 2:14 LXX; MT Deuel).

5. The son of Ibnijah and grandfather of Meshullam, a Benjaminite living in Jerusalem (1 Chr. 9:8).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
