The Family of Nahor
v. 20. And it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor:
v. 21. Huz, his first-born, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,
v. 22. and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
v. 23. And Bethuel begat Rebekah; these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
v. 24. And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah. of these children of Nahor, Buz is mentioned Jer_25:23 and Job_32:2, and Maachah Deu_3:14; Jos_12:5. The others may, in part, have been fathers of tribes later found in Southern Mesopotamia and Northern Arabia, the country where Job and his children afterward lived. But the chief interest of the list is in the fact that it shows the lineage of Rebekah, who was a legal granddaughter of Nahor and the daughter of Isaac's cousin.
