Rebekah: A noose, the daughter of Bethuel, and the wife of Isaac
(Genesis 22:23)
(Genesis 24:67) The circumstances under which Abraham's "steward" found
her at the "city of Nahor," in Padan-aram, are narrated in
(Genesis 24:1)ff "She can hardly be regarded as an amiable woman. When
we first see her she is ready to leave her father's house for ever at
an hour's notice; and her future life showed not only a full share of
her brother Laban's duplicity, but the grave fault of partiality in
her relations to her children, and a strong will, which soon
controlled the gentler nature of her husband." The time and
circumstances of her death are not recorded, but it is said that she
was buried in the cave of Machpelah
(Genesis 49:31)
