He is identified as the father of Eliasaph, a leader of the tribe of Gad during the time of the Exodus. The name Deuel appears in the Book of Numbers, which details the organization and leadership of the tribes of Israel as they prepared to enter the Promised Land.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/numbers/1-14.htm">Numbers 1:14</a> :</b> "from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;"<br> <br> In this passage, Deuel is mentioned as the father of Eliasaph, who is appointed as the leader of the tribe of Gad. This verse is part of the census taken by Moses and Aaron, where leaders from each tribe are named to assist in the organization of the people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/numbers/2-14.htm">Numbers 2:14</a> :</b> "Next will be the tribe of Gad. The leader of the Gadites is Eliasaph son of Deuel."<br><br> Here, Deuel is again referenced in the context of the tribal encampment arrangement around the Tabernacle. The tribe of Gad, under the leadership of Eliasaph, is positioned alongside other tribes as they journey through the wilderness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42</a> :</b> "On the sixth day Eliasaph son of Deuel, the leader of the Gadites, drew near."<br><br> This verse is part of the account of the offerings made by the leaders of Israel at the dedication of the altar. Eliasaph, son of Deuel, presents his offering on behalf of the tribe of Gad.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/numbers/10-20.htm">Numbers 10:20</a> :</b> "and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad."<br><br> In this passage, Deuel is mentioned in the context of the order of march as the Israelites set out from Mount Sinai. Eliasaph, his son, is responsible for leading the division of the tribe of Gad.<br><br><b>Textual Considerations:</b><br><br>There is a textual variation concerning the name Deuel. In some manuscripts and translations, the name appears as "Reuel" (e.g., <a href="/numbers/2-14.htm">Numbers 2:14</a> in some versions). This variation has led to discussions among scholars regarding the correct reading. However, the Berean Standard Bible consistently uses "Deuel" in the relevant passages.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Context:</b><br><br>Deuel's mention in the Bible is brief and primarily serves to establish the lineage and leadership of the tribe of Gad during a critical period in Israel's history. The tribe of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, was known for its warrior-like characteristics and played a significant role in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land.<br><br>Theologically, the inclusion of Deuel's name in the biblical record underscores the importance of family lineage and tribal leadership in the organization of the Israelite community. It reflects the divinely ordained structure that God established for His people as they journeyed from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the land He promised to their forefathers.<br><br><b>Cultural Significance:</b><br><br>In the broader cultural and historical context of the ancient Near East, genealogies and tribal affiliations were crucial for identity and inheritance. Deuel's mention, though brief, contributes to the rich tapestry of Israel's history and the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob regarding their descendants.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Deuel</span><p>the knowledge of God<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">DEUEL</span><p>du'-el, de-u'-el de`u'el, ("knowledge of God"): A Gadite, the father of Eliasaph, the representative of the tribe of Gad in the census-taking (<a href="/numbers/1-14.htm">Numbers 1:14</a>), in making the offering of the tribe at the dedication of the altar (<a href="/numbers/7-42.htm">Numbers 7:42, 47</a>), and as leader of the host of the tribe of the children of Gad in the wilderness (<a href="/numbers/10-20.htm">Numbers 10:20</a>).
