Genesis 22:23

22:23 (Now Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.) These were the eight sons Milcah bore to Abraham’s brother Nahor.

Genesis 24:67

24:67 Then Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s tent. He took her as his wife and loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.


tn The disjunctive clause gives information that is important but parenthetical to the narrative. Rebekah would become the wife of Isaac (Gen 24:15).

tn Heb “her”; the referent has been specified here in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “Rebekah”; here the proper name was replaced by the pronoun (“her”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

tn Heb “and he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her.”

tn Heb “after his mother.” This must refer to Sarah’s death.
