Where Milcah appears in Scripture

Genesis 11

וַיִּקַּח אַבְרָם וְנָחוֹר לָהֶם נָשִׁים שֵׁם אֵֽשֶׁת-אַבְרָם שָׂרָי וְשֵׁם אֵֽשֶׁת-נָחוֹר מִלְכָּה בַּת-הָרָן אֲבִֽי-מִלְכָּה וַֽאֲבִי יִסְכָּֽה׃

And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

Genesis 22

וַיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיֻּגַּד לְאַבְרָהָם לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה יָֽלְדָה מִלְכָּה גַם-הִוא בָּנִים לְנָחוֹר אָחִֽיךָ׃

And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;

וּבְתוּאֵל יָלַד אֶת-רִבְקָה שְׁמֹנָה אֵלֶּה יָֽלְדָה מִלְכָּה לְנָחוֹר אֲחִי אַבְרָהָֽם׃

And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו בַּת-בְּתוּאֵל אָנֹכִי בֶּן-מִלְכָּה אֲשֶׁר יָֽלְדָה לְנָחֽוֹר׃

And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

וָֽאֶשְׁאַל אֹתָהּ וָֽאֹמַר בַּת-מִי אַתְּ וַתֹּאמֶר בַּת-בְּתוּאֵל בֶּן-נָחוֹר אֲשֶׁר יָֽלְדָה-לּוֹ מִלְכָּה וָֽאָשִׂם הַנֶּזֶם עַל-אַפָּהּ וְהַצְּמִידִים עַל-יָדֶֽיהָ׃

And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
