AC 2860

And it came to pass after these words

that it was told Abraham, saying,

Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children

unto Nahor, thy brother.

Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother,

and Kemuel the father of Aram.

And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash,

and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

And Bethuel begat Rebekah:

these eight did Milcah bear to Nahor,

Abraham's brother.

and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash,

and Jidlaph, and Bethuel,"
