Elizur

Elizur son of Shedeur is one of the tribal leaders named in the book of Numbers, and he speaks for Reuben. He is listed among the men who stand with Moses (Numbers 1:5), is captain of Reuben’s camp on the south side of the tabernacle, and offers his gifts on the fourth day, when each prince brings the same offering in turn (Numbers 7:30-35). He then leads Reuben’s host when the camp sets forward (Numbers 10:18). He does and says little, but he keeps appearing exactly where his tribe is counted.
