Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 2:14
Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
Called Deuel, Num 1:14, the Hebrew letters daleth and resh being very like, and oft changed, as appears by comparing Gen 10:3, with 1Ch 1:6; Gen 36:26,38, with 1Ch 1:41,50.

Then the tribe of Gad,…. Who was placed on the other side of Reuben’s standard, and according to the former direction he must be before, and Simeon behind; and Gad being the eldest son of Leah’s handmaid Zilpah, is fitly placed under Leah’s firstborn, and being the son of an handmaid, could not object to his situation:
and the captain of the sons of Gad [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Reuel: who is called Deuel, Nu 1:14. The letters , “resh”, and , “daleth”, being similar, are sometimes put one for the other, of which there are other instances, as in Ge 10:3, compared with 1Ch 1:6.

Gad, brother of Reuben (same mother, Leah). Gen 35:23. Sign = Aries.
Reuel. Some codices, with one early printed edition, Targum of Onkelos, The Targum of Jonathan ben Uzziel and Vulgate, have “Deuel”, as in Ch. Num 1:14; Num 7:41; Num 10:20; the (Resh, R) being mistaken for (Daleth, D). Probably called, indifferently, by either name.
