shed´ḗ-ur, she-de´ur (שׁדיאוּר, shedhē'ūr, “daybreak”; Codex Vaticanus Σεδιούρ, Sedioúr, Ἐδιούρ, Edioúr): The father of Elizur, the chief of Reuben (; ; ). French Delitzsch correctly conceives the name as an Assyrian compound, šad uri, “daybreak.” Cf, however, Gray, HPN, 169, 197, who emends the text to read Shaddai 'Ūr, “Shaddai is flame.”
