Context of Genesis 22:21

19So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. 20Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, 22Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 23And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

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.

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
