The same name also occurs in the list of Midianite rulers in Numbers 31:8 and as Rephaiah’s father in Nehemiah 3:9.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the proper name as “Hur,” including genealogical statements, the account of Moses’ raised hands, and lists of Midianite rulers. These renderings are confirmed by the supplied proper-noun morphology and clause contexts.
