And Betuel begot Rivkah; these eight Milkah bore to Nachor, Avraham’s brother.
Rashi on Genesis 22:23.
Sefaria — Rashi on Genesis 22:23
English: “And Betuel begot Rivkah.” All these genealogies were written only for the sake of this verse.
Derash on the verse (Rashi) — not a formal named middah of the 13. The purpose of the surrounding genealogy is fixed by the single clause that names Rivkah.
The entire family register of Nachor was recorded only so that the birth of Rivkah — Yitzchak’s destined match — could be announced.
