29
Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well; for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 29. Hobab; probably the brother of Sephora, and son of Raguel or Jethro, who had departed, leaving this son for a guide to Moses. Though God directed the marches of the Hebrews, he would not have them to neglect human means.—Kinsman. The Heb clothen, and Greek gambros, are not more determinate, as they signify either father, son, or brother-in-law (see Exodus 2:18. Calmet.); or in general a relation. S. Jerom. D.
