A Minor Scribal Error
Commentators note that the name of Gad's leader, "Reuel," in this verse is likely a minor scribal error for "Deuel," who is named in Numbers 1:14. Scholars like John Gill explain that the Hebrew letters for 'R' (resh) and 'D' (daleth) are very similar and easily confused. This shows how textual variants can occur without affecting core doctrine.
