Genesis 22:20-24
God quietly preserves His redemptive plan through providential family lines.
20 After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
God quietly preserves His redemptive plan through providential family lines.
To introduce the lineage of Nahor and prepare the narrative movement toward the continuation of the covenant through Isaac’s future marriage.
