English

A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Num.3.24.

Lael was the father of Eliasaph, who was a leader of the Gershonite clan of the Levites during the wilderness wanderings (Numbers 3:24). The Gershonites were responsible for the tabernacle's curtains, coverings, and hangings (Numbers 3:25-26). Lael's son, Eliasaph, was appointed as the chief of the Gershonite families (Numbers 3:24).
