Eliezer

MosesEnglish

A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Exo.18.4.

Eliezer was the second son of Moses and Zipporah (Exodus 18:4). His name, which means "my God is help," was given by Moses because God had delivered him from Pharaoh's sword (Exodus 18:4). Eliezer and his brother Gershom were born during Moses' exile in Midian. In the genealogies of the Levites, Eliezer is listed as a son of Moses (1 Chronicles 23:15,17). He had a son named Rehabiah, who had many descendants (1 Chronicles 23:17; 26.25). The Bible does not provide any further details about Eliezer's life or role.
