The Family of Nahor
20 Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed aMilcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 aHuz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father bof Aram,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 And aBethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
