2860. Verses 20-23. And it came to pass after these words that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also hath borne children unto Nahor, thy brother. Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram. And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. “It came to pass after these words,” signifies the things done relating to those who are within the church; “that it was told Abraham, saying,” signifies the Lord’s perception; “Behold, Milcah, she also hath borne children unto Nahor, thy brother” signifies those out of the church who are in brotherhood from good: “Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram; and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel,” signify various religions and their modes of worship; “Bethuel begat Rebekah,” signifies from good the affection of truth; “these eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother,” signifies a second class of those who are saved.
