Shedeur; a Reubenite, father of Elizur, meaning 'Shaddai is flame/light'
Shedeur is a proper name borne by the father of Elizur, the chief of the tribe of Reuben during the wilderness period. The name likely compounds Shaddai ('the Almighty') with 'ur ('flame' or 'light'), yielding 'the Almighty is my light.' All five occurrences appear in Numbers within Priestly census and offering lists (Num 1:5; 2:10; 7:30, 35; 10:18). The LXX renders it Sediour, and translations across languages consistently transliterate rather than translate, reflecting its status as a fixed personal name.
