Genesis 24:24

24 quae respondit filia Bathuelis sum filii Melchae quem peperit Nahor

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 postquam ergo biberunt cameli protulit vir inaures aureas adpendentes siclos duos et armillas totidem pondo siclorum decem
23 dixitque ad eam cuius es filia indica mihi est in domo patris tui locus ad manendum
24 quae respondit filia Bathuelis sum filii Melchae quem peperit Nahor
25 et addidit dicens palearum quoque et faeni plurimum est apud nos et locus spatiosus ad manendum
26 inclinavit se homo et adoravit Dominum
