Rebekah in Genesis 24
reh-BEK-uh
This person shows up in Genesis 24:15: “Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Genesis 24:15
“Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.”
