Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Eliasaph: Numbers 7:42, Numbers 10:20, Son of Reuel, Numbers 2:14
Deuel: As the ד, daleth is very like the ר, resh, they might be easily mistaken for each other; and hence this person being called both Deuel and Reuel, may be easily accounted for. The Septuagint and Syriac have Reuel, in this chapter; and in Numbers 2:14, the Samaritan, Vulgate, and Arabic have Deuel, instead of Reuel, with which reading a vast number of manuscripts concur, and which is also supported by Numbers 7:42, Numbers 10:20. We may therefore safely conclude, the Deuel, and not Reuel, was the original reading.

Cross-References
In the beginning God made from nothing the heavens and the earth.
The earth was an empty waste and darkness was over the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was moving over the top of the waters.
Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
God saw that the light was good. He divided the light from the darkness.
Then God said, "Let there be an open space between the waters. Let it divide waters from waters."
God made the open space, and divided the waters under the open space from the waters above the open space. And it was so.
Then God called the open space Heaven. There was evening and there was morning, the second day.
Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered into one place. Let the dry land be seen." And it was so.
Plants grew out of the earth, giving their own kind of seeds. Trees grew with their fruit, and their kind of seeds. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, "Let there be lights in the open space of the heavens to divide day from night. Let them tell the days and years and times of the year.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The princes of the tribes, selected Numbers 1:4 under divine direction, were for the most part the same persons as those chosen a few months previously at the counsel of Jethro Exodus 18:21-26. Nahshon, prince of Judah, is mentioned in Exodus 6:23, and Elishama, in 1 Chronicles 7:26-27. The peers of men like these were no doubt entitled, among their fellows, to the epithet “renowned,” Numbers 1:16.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 1:14. Eliasaph, the son of Deuel. — This person is called Reuel, Numbers 2:14. As the ד daleth is very like the ר resh, it was easy to mistake the one for the other. The Septuagint and the Syriac have Reuel in this chapter; and in Numbers 2:14, the Vulgate, the Samaritan, and the Arabic have Deuel instead of Reuel, with which reading a vast number of MSS. concur; and this reading is supported by Numbers 10:20; we may safely conclude therefore that דעואל Deuel, not רעואל Reuel, was the original reading. See Kennicott.
An ancient Jewish rabbin pretends to solve every difficulty by saying that "Eliasaph was a proselyte; that before he embraced the true faith he was called the son of Reuel, but that after his conversion he was called the son of Deuel." As Reuel may be translated the breach of God, and Deuel the knowledge of God, I suppose the rabbin grounded his supposition on the different meanings of the two words.
