Commentary on Genesis 22:20

Theological / Devotional

It was told Abraham. Some unidentified messenger came to Beersheba with news from Abraham’s brother Nahor in Haran. This news takes the form of a brief table of Nahor’s descendants. It is included here by way of showing the descent of Rebekah, soon to become Isaac’s wife.

Milcah. This daughter of Haran, who had married her uncle Nahor (ch. 11:29), had given birth to eight sons, named in the following verses. It is not implied that Milcah had but recently begun to bear children (see on ch. 11:30), but that many years had passed since Abraham last heard from Nahor’s family.
