(darter of light), the father of Elizur, chief of the tribe of Reuben at the time of the exodus. (Numbers 1:5; 2:10; 7:30,35; 10:18) (B.C. 1491.)
Shedeur
Shedeur never appears himself. He is named only as a father, and what we know of him comes from his son Elizur. When Moses counted Israel in the wilderness, Elizur the son of Shedeur was chosen to stand with him as leader of Reuben. Later he camped on the south side as captain of that tribe, and on the fourth day of the tabernacle dedication he brought Reuben’s offering. Numbers 7 describes each leader’s gift in the same words, one tribe a day. Shedeur’s name is a reminder of how carefully Israel’s households were recorded.
