Genesis 22:20-24

God Tests Abraham, Provides the Ram, and Confirms the Promise Through the Near-Sacrifice of Isaac

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

20 Some time later, Abraham was told, “Milcah has also borne sons to your brother Nahor:

21 Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),

22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”

23 And Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

24 Moreover, Nahor’s concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
