<p> "The Syrian" (Aramite). </p> <p> '''1.''' Nahor's son by Miclah, nephew of Abraham, father of [[Rebekah]] (&nbsp;Genesis 22:22-23; &nbsp;Genesis 24:15; &nbsp;Genesis 24:24; &nbsp;Genesis 24:47; &nbsp;Genesis 28:2). [[Bethuel]] appears personally only in &nbsp;Genesis 24:50, and then after his son. [[Blunt]] (Undesigned Coincidences) notices Bethuel's consistent insignificance in the whole affair of his daughter's marriage. When Abraham's servant at the well asks Rebekah, "Is there room in thy father's house for us?" she "ran and told them of her mother's house" (not of her father's, as Rachel did when Jacob introduced himself: &nbsp;Genesis 29:12). </p> <p> Laban her brother ran out and invited him in, not Bethuel, the natural person to do it. The servant makes presents of jewels and precious things to Rebekah, "and to her brother, and to her mother," but not to Bethuel. The brother and mother propose her abiding a few days before going. Finally, in the next generation, Rebekah's son, in inquiring after his kindred, asks, "Know ye Laban, the son of Nahor?" the father's name being omitted and the grandfather's substituted (&nbsp;Genesis 29:5). The consistency of omission is too marked to be accidental, and yet such as a forger would never have devised. Bethuel was probably incapable, from age or imbecility, of managing his own affairs; but see Laban. (See [[Laban]] .) </p> <p> '''2.''' A place (See [[Bethul]] .) (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:30). </p>

Bethuel [1]

be - thū´el ( בּתוּאל , bethū'ēl  ; "dweller in God"): A son of Nahor and Milcah, Abraham's nephew, father of Laban and Rebekah ( Genesis 22:23;  Genesis 24:15 ,  Genesis 24:24 ,  Genesis 24:47 ,  Genesis 24:50;  Genesis 25:20;  Genesis 28:2 ,  Genesis 28:5 ). In the last-named passage, he is surnamed "the Syrian." The only place where he appears as a leading character in the narrative is in connection with Rebekah's betrothal to Isaac; and even here, his son Laban stands out more prominently than he - a fact explainable on the ground of the custom which recognized the right of the brother to take a special interest in the welfare of the sister (compare  Genesis 34:5 ,  Genesis 34:21 ,  Genesis 34:25;  2 Samuel 13:20 ,  2 Samuel 13:22 ). Ant , I, xvi, 2 states that Bethuel was dead at this time.
