- only referred to as Eliezer אֱלִיעֶזֶר;

- father of Rehabiah רְחַבְיָה.
Eliezer was the second son of Moses and Zipporah (Exo.18.4). His name, which means "my God is help," was given by Moses because God had delivered him from Pharaoh's sword (Exo.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 (1Ch.23.15,17). He had a son named Rehabiah, who had many descendants (1Ch.23.17; 26.25). The Bible does not provide any further details about Eliezer's life or role.
