ELIEZER

ELIEZER

“God is help.”
(a) A Damascene who held the office of Abraham’s administrator (Gen. 15:2; cp. Gen. 24:2). In all likelihood it was Eliezer who was sent to find a wife for Isaac.

Evidently, he was a devout man, who entrusted himself to God to make his journey successful. His mission is a notable type of the Holy Spirit’s work of providing a wife for the Lord Jesus.

It is for this purpose that He is now gathering the church (Gen. 24:1-67).

(b) Second son of Moses and Zipporah. He, along with his mother and brother, were left in Jethro’s care until after the Exodus, joining Moses in the wilderness (Ex. 18:4; 1 Chron. 23:15, 17; 26:25).

(c) Son of Becher, a Benjamite (1 Chron. 7:8).
(d) Priest who helped carry the ark to Jerusalem (1 Chron. 15:24).

(e) Son of Zicri and “chief” of the Reubenites (1 Chr. 27:16).

(f) Son of Dodova. He was the prophet who rebuked Jehoshaphat for allying himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, because Ahaziah “was given to wickedness” (2 Chron. 20:35-37).

(g) One who was sent by Ezra to seek Levites to accompany him to Jerusalem (Ezra 8:16).
(h) Three who had married foreign women (Ezra 10:18, 23, 31).

(i) Son of Jorim, ancestor of the Lord Jesus (Luke 3:29).
