And Bethuel begot Rebekah, these eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
And it came to pass, while he was still speaking, that Rebekah came out [even before he had finished his prayer], born to Bethuel, the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, and she had her pitcher on her shoulder.
She replied, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' and she replied, 'I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.'
Then I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, "We cannot speak evil or good of what comes from the Lord (Yahweh).
And it came to pass (Hebr. vajehi) that Isaac was 40 years old when he took Rebekah, daughter of the Aramean Bethuel from Paddan-Aram and sister of the Aramean Laban, as his wife.[This was the area around Haran in Upper Mesopotamia. Isaac lives to be 180 years old (Gen. 35:28), which means that he still has 140 years left of his earthly life when he marries. In Jewish culture, men are around 18-20 and women are often 14-15 at the time of marriage, but life expectancy is 70-80 years.]
Arise, go to Paddan-aram [in the north; upper Mesopotamia, present-day southeastern Turkey] to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take a wife from there, from the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. [Laban and Rebekah were siblings, and their father's name was Bethuel, see Gen. 22:23.]
And Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-Aram, to Laban the Aramean, the son of Bethuel and brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
