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 her, "Tell me about your family? Whose daughter are you? Is there room in your father's house for us to stay the night?"
24 She said, "I'm the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah and Nahor.
25 And there's plenty of room in our house for you to stay - and lots of straw and feed besides."
26 At this the man bowed in worship before God
