Hobab] Was one of the names of Jethro Moses father in law, Judg. 4. 11. who is said to have three or foure names, (Revel, Jethro, and Hobab) but here it seemes to be the name of Jethro’s sonne, and brother to Zipporah Moses wife, who might have the same name with his father; and that he, rather then his father, is here meant, there be two reasons; first, because Jethro Moses father in law is called Revel, Exod. 2. vers. 18. but this Hobab is here called the sonne of Raguel, or Revel: (for the word in the Originall is the same) Secondly, because Jethro Moses father in law, was by Moses dismissed into his countrey of Midian, Exodus 18:27. but this Hobab Moses would not dismisse, though he desired to depart, vers. 30. 31. and that he did not depart appeares in the next verse.
