Who she was

Milcah is mentioned in the book of Genesis as the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother (Genesis 11:29). She was the daughter of Haran, who was also the father of Lot (Genesis 11:29). Milcah and Nahor had eight children together, including Bethuel, who became the father of Rebekah (Gen.22.20,23). When Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for his son Isaac, the servant traveled to the city of Nahor and encountered Rebekah at the well (Genesis 24:15). Upon learning that Rebekah was the granddaughter of Milcah and Nahor, the servant recognized this as a sign of God's guidance and provision (Gen.24.24,47). Milcah's family played a significant role in the continuation of Abraham's lineage, as Rebekah became Isaac's wife and the mother of Jacob and Esau.
