Brother In Law Of Moses
His name is hobab ben reuel.
Brother in law of moses. We will be good to you because the lord has promised good things to israel. Princess tamar must have had good reason to believe what she told her half brother in spite of what the law of moses said. Alternatively reuel may have been the grandfather head of the clan and jethro may have been the father in law of moses and hobab his brother in law jethro s son. Part of the law torah that moses received from god at sinai granted aaron the priesthood for himself and his male descendants and he became the first high priest of the israelites.
So in this case reuel may have been moses father in law and hobab and jethro his brothers in law. When moses first confronted the egyptian king about the israelites aaron served as his brother s spokesman prophet to the pharaoh. However saala is also considered to be abusive language so better not use it. Moses said to his brother in law hobab son of reuel the midianite we are going to the place the lord promised to give us.
However judges 4 11 esv says that hobab is the father in law of moses. Brother in law means is translated to saala in hindi. 3 the torah does call hovav s father reuel presumably the same person identified as moses father in law in exodus 2. In the first passage hobab is describes as the son of reuel the midianite then note that the comma s placement shows we are describing reuel as moses father in law.
