23:15 The sons of Moses:
Gershom and Eliezer.
23:16 The son 1 of Gershom:
Shebuel 2 the oldest.
1 tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one name appears after this. The attached phrase “the oldest” might indicate that Shebuel was not Gershom’s only son, but note v. 17.
2 tc The LXX reads Σουβαηλ (Soubahl) here, a reading followed by NAB, NIV, NCV, CEV (“Shubael”); cf. 24:20.
