mil´ka ( מלכּה , milkāh ; Μελχά , Melchá ):

(1) Daughter of Haran, wife of Nahor, and grandmother of Rebekah (Genesis 11:29; Genesis 22:20-23; Genesis 24:15 , Genesis 24:24 , Genesis 24:47 ).

(2) Daughter of Zelophehad (Numbers 26:33; Numbers 27:1; Numbers 36:11; Joshua 17:3 ). Many recent authorities are of opinion that Milcah is an abbreviation of Bethmilcah, and is a geographical rather than a personal name.
