- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29Moses said unto Hobab - For a circumstantial account of this person see the notes on Exodus 2:15, Exodus 2:16; (note), Exodus 2:18; (note); Exodus 3:1; Exodus 4:20; (note), Exodus 4:24; (note); and for the transaction recorded here, and which is probably out of its place, see Exodus 18:5; (note), where the subject is discussed at large.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 29Hobab, the son of Raguel - Or Reuel Exodus 2:18. Reuel was probably not identical with Jethro: and Hobab was the brother-in-law, not the father-in-law, of Moses; the Hebrew word translated in the King James Version “father-in-law,” signifying simply any relation by marriage (Exodus 3:1 note). Hobab Judges 1:16; Judges 4:11 eventually accompanied the Israelites and obtained a settlement with them in the land of Canaan. Hobab and Jethro may have been…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite--called also Reuel (the same as Jethro [Ex 2:18, Margin]). Hobab, the son of this Midianite chief and brother-in-law to Moses, seems to have sojourned among the Israelites during the whole period of their encampment at Sinai and now on their removal proposed returning to his own abode. Moses urged him to remain, both for his own benefit from a religious point of view, and for the useful services his nomad habits…Read the comment
