Commentary on Genesis 22:23

Theological / Devotional

Bethuel begat Rebekah. Nothing is known of the other sons of Nahor except Bethuel, his youngest. Bethuel is important as the father of Laban and Rebekah (see chs. 24:15, 24, 47, 50; 25:20; 28:2, 5). The name Bethuel, literally, “dwelling of God,” may indicate that he was a pious man. The omission of Laban’s name from this list suggests that he was not yet born.
