1. Daughter of Haran, and wife of her uncle Nahor (Genesis 11:29). She bore eight sons, the youngest of whom was Bethuel, father of Rebekah (ib. 22:21-23). Ibn Ezra commentary on Genesis 11:29) thinks that Haran, Milcah's father, was a different person from Haran, Abraham's brother, and consequently that Milcah's husband was not her uncle. 2. Fourth daughter of Zelophehad (Numbers 26:33).
