The fourth day signifies continuity and the ongoing dedication of the people to God.<p><b>Elizur son of Shedeur</b><br>Elizur, whose name means "God is my rock," is a significant figure representing the tribe of Reuben. His lineage, as the son of Shedeur, connects him to the broader narrative of the Israelites' journey and their ancestral heritage. The mention of his father underscores the importance of family lineage and the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.<p><b>the leader of the Reubenites</b><br>Reuben was the firstborn son of Jacob, and his tribe held a place of prominence among the Israelites. However, due to Reuben's transgression against his father Jacob, the tribe did not receive the preeminence typically associated with the firstborn. Despite this, the Reubenites played a crucial role in the community, and their leader, Elizur, represents their continued participation in the covenant community.<p><b>drew near</b><br>The act of drawing near is significant in the context of worship and offering. It implies an approach to the divine presence, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament. This phrase also echoes the broader biblical narrative of humanity's desire to draw near to God, culminating in the New Testament with the work of Jesus Christ, who enables believers to approach God with confidence.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elizur.htm">Elizur</a></b><br>He is the son of Shedeur and the leader of the tribe of Reuben.
