Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the tribe of Gad,.... Who was placed on the other side of Reuben's standard, and according to the former direction he must be before, and Simeon behind; and Gad being the eldest son of Leah's handmaid Zilpah, is fitly placed under Leah's firstborn, and being the son of an handmaid, could not object to his situation:

and the captain of the sons of Gad [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Reuel: who is called Deuel, Numbers 1:14. The letters ר, "resh", and ד, "daleth", being similar, are sometimes put one for the other, of which there are other instances, as in Genesis 10:3, compared with 1 Chronicles 1:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 2:14

Reuel - Doubtless an error of transcription for Deuel Numbers 1:14.
