Please be advised that I have clearly made a constructive edit based on the relevant Verse. 62.90.5.220 (talk) 10:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, there certainly does seem to be some confusion here. And I'm sure your edit was done in good faith, so I apologize if my revert seemed unduly abrupt.
- Here's what we have:
- Eleazar (or Elazar), (Hebrew: אֶלְעָזָר, Standard Elʻazar Tiberian Elʻāzār ; "God has helped") was a son of Aaron, a Levite priest and High Priest, and
- Eliezer (Hebrew: אֱלִיעֶזֶר, Standard Eliʿézer, Tiberian ʾĔlîʿézer; "Help/Court of my God"), the second son of Moses and Zipporah according to Exodus (18:4).
- Now, I take it that what prompted your edit was the line in the Eleazar article saying:
- "According to the Documentary Hypothesis, in the Elohist (E) document, Eleazar is the son of Moses not Aaron."
- Right?
- I am neither a Torah nor a Hebrew scholar myself, so I really don't know what to make of that line. However, that being said, it seems fair enough to me. I think it should be sufficient, really, to just add something like: "(see also Eliezer)."
- Don't you?

Eleazar the son of Aaron is mentioned numerous times in the Bible and should in no way be confused with Eliezer the son of Moses. 62.90.5.220 (talk) 08:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
