Milcah: The Wife of Nahor and the Mother of Bethuel

Source: Nav

Genesis 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.
Genesis 22:20–23 Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor: / Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram), / Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
Genesis 24:15, 24, 47 Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor. / She replied, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor.” / Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
