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 ) .

23 He asked, "Who is your father? Is there a place in his house for me and my men to spend the night?"

24 Rebekah answered, "My father is Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor."

25 Then she said, "And, yes, we have straw for your camels and a place for you to spend the night."

26 The servant bowed and worshiped the Lord
