MEDITATION
Genesis 22:20-24
20 Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
21 Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23 And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.

沉思
《创世记 22:20-24》
20“这事以后,有人告诉亚伯拉罕说:‘密迦给你兄弟拿鹤生了几个儿子,
21长子是乌斯,他的兄弟是布斯,和亚兰的父亲基母利,
22并基薛、哈琐、必达、益拉、彼土利(彼土利生利百加)。’
23这八个人都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的。24拿鹤的妾名叫流玛,生了提八、迦含、他辖和玛迦。”
