Genesis 24:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 24:24

And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son
of Milcah
Which Milcah was the daughter of Haran, Abraham's elder brother, and, as thought by many, sister to Sarah, Abraham's wife, see ( Genesis 11:29 ) : which she bare unto Nahor;
Abraham's brother; so that her father was Nahor's son, not by his concubine Reumah, but by his lawful wife Milcah, which sets Rebekah's descent in a true light, see ( Genesis 22:20-24 ) ; whether she told her own name is not certain, it may be, since the servant bade it, ( Genesis 24:45 ) .

Genesis 24:24 In-Context

22 And it happened [that] as the camels finished drinking the man took a gold ring of a half shekel in weight and two bracelets for her arms, ten shekels in weight,
23 and said, "Please tell me, whose daughter [are] you? Is there a place [at] the house of your father for us to spend the night?"
24 And she said to him, "I [am] the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
25 Then she said to him, "We have both straw and fodder in abundance, as well as a place to spend the night."
26 And the man knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.
