Shedeyur
of Shedeur
Proper name, masculine: Shedeyur. The lexical meaning of the name appears to combine elements associated with 'field' (שָׂדֶה, sadeh) and possibly 'light/fire' (אוּר, 'ur), but its function in the Hebrew Bible is as a personal name, specifically that of the father of Elizur, a leader of the tribe of Reuben during the wilderness period. There is no usage of the word outside of the personal name context.

Field-of-Light
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name (HNp); no prefixes or suffixes; used only as a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines שדה (field) and אור (light/flame), so "Field-of-Light" preserves both root elements in a compact compound form. As a masculine singular proper name, it is rendered as a title-like personal designation rather than translated descriptively. |
