19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. 20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; 21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah (Genesis 22:19-24).
This passage should not be a surprise to us. God had promised Abraham that through Abraham’s family nations would multiply and be blessed. God always fulfills His promises. And so as a relative of Abraham, Nahor was blessed with many offspring. The history of the promise to Abraham is part of our common history moving ever toward complete redemption.
