Context of Genesis 22:21

19So Abraham returned to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived in Beersheba. 20Now it came about after these things, that Abraham was told, saying, “Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram), 22Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel”-- 23and it was Bethuel who fathered Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

Commentaries on Genesis 22:21

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 21Huz - He is supposed to have peopled the land of Uz or Ausitis, in Arabia Deserta, the country of Job. Buz his brother - From this person Elihu the Buzite, one of the friends of Job, is thought to have descended. Kemuel the father of Aram - Kamouel , the father of the Syrians, according to the Septuagint. Probably the Kamiletes, a Syrian tribe to the westward of the Euphrates are meant; they are mentioned by Strabo.Read the comment

It shows that though Abraham saw his own family highly honoured with privileges, admitted into covenant, and blessed with the assurance of the promise, yet he did not look with disdain…Read the comment
