Bethuel is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. He is the son of Nahor and Milcah, and the grandson of Abram (later known as Abraham). Bethuel is known for being the father of Rebekah, who became the wife of Isaac and the mother of Esau and Jacob. In the context of the Bible, Bethuel's role is primarily as a patriarchal figure in the lineage of the Israelites. His family connections are significant, as they link to key events in the biblical narrative, particularly the continuation of God's covenant through Isaac and Jacob.
