17. I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.

21. Uz his firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22. Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23. And Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24. His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
