However, the concept of being a "friend of God" can be related to the Greek word φίλος (philos, Strong's G5384), meaning "friend."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Reuel is a Hebrew name meaning "friend of God." It is used in the Bible to refer to several individuals, most notably the father-in-law of Moses, also known as Jethro, and a descendant of Esau.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, names were often reflective of personal characteristics, divine relationships, or familial connections. The name Reuel, meaning "friend of God," suggests a person who is in a close relationship with God. Reuel, as a Midianite priest, indicates the presence of monotheistic worship outside of the Israelite community, which is significant in understanding the broader context of ancient Near Eastern religious practices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7462b.htm">raah</a> and <a
