Genesis 24:24

And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son

Abraham's brother; so that her father was Nahor's son, not by his concubine Reumah, but by his lawful wife Milcah, which sets Rebekah's descent in a true light, see ( Genesis 22:20-24 ) ; whether she told her own name is not certain, it may be, since the servant bade it, ( Genesis 24:45 ) .
