Fausets
The Syrian (Aramite).
1. Nahor's son by Miclah, nephew of Abraham, father of Rebekah (Ge 22:22-23; 24/15/type/nsb'>24:15,24,47; 28:2). Bethuel appears personally only in Ge 24:50, and then after his son. Blunt (Undesigned Coincidences) notices Bethuel's consistent insignificance in the whole affair of his daughter's marriage. When Abraham's servant at the well asks Rebekah, "Is there room in thy father's house for us?" she "ran and told them of her mother's house" (not of her father's, as Rachel did when Jacob introduced himself: Ge 29:12).
Laban her brother ran out and invited him in, not Bethuel, the natural person to do it. The servant makes presents of jewels and precious things to Rebekah, "and to her brother, and to her mother," but not to Bethuel. The brother and mother propose her abiding a few days before going. Finally, in the next generation, Rebekah's son, in inquiring after his kindred, asks, "Know ye Laban, the son of Nahor?" the father's name being omitted and the grandfather's substituted (Ge 29:5). The consistency of omission is too marked to be accidental, and yet such as a forger would never have devised. Bethuel was probably incapable, from age or imbecility, of managing his own affairs; but see Laban. (See LABAN.)
2. A place (See BETHUL.) (1Ch 4:30).

Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel. Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These are the eight children Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Before he finished praying, Rebekah came with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, who was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor. The girl was a very attractive virgin. No man had ever had sexual intercourse with her. She went to the spring and filled her jar, and came back. read more. The servant ran to meet her and said: Please give me a drink of water. Drink, my lord, she said. She quickly lowered her jar to her hand and gave him a drink. When she finished giving him a drink, she said: I will also keep drawing water for your camels until they have had enough to drink. She quickly emptied her jar into the water trough. Then she ran back to the well to draw more water. She drew enough for all his camels. The man quietly watched her to see whether or not Jehovah made his trip successful. When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a fifth of an ounce and two gold bracelets weighing four ounces. He said: Please tell me who your father is. Is there room in his house for my men and me to spend the night? My father is Bethuel son of Nahor and Milcah, she answered. There is plenty of straw and fodder at our house. There is also a place for you to stay. The man knelt down and worshiped Jehovah. He said: Praise Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham. He has faithfully kept his promise to my master. Jehovah has led me straight to my master's relatives. The young woman ran to her mother's house and told the entire story. Rebecca's brother was named Laban. He ran outside to go to the well where Abraham's servant was. Laban had seen the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's arms and had heard her say what the man told her. He went to Abraham's servant, who was standing by his camels at the well, and said: Come home with me. You are a man Jehovah has blessed. Why are you standing out here? I have a room ready for you in my house. There is a place for your camels. The man went into the house. Laban unloaded the camels and gave them straw and fodder. Then he brought water for Abraham's servant and his men to wash their feet. Food was brought. The man said: I will not eat until I have said what I have to say. Laban responded: Go ahead and speak. I am the servant of Abraham, he began. Jehovah has greatly blessed my master and made him a rich man. He has given him flocks of sheep and goats, cattle, silver, gold, male and female slaves, camels, and donkeys. Sarah, my master's wife, did not have any children until she was very old. Then she had a son, and my master has given him everything. I solemnly promised my master I would do what he said. He told me: 'Do not choose a wife for my son from the women in this land of Canaan. Go back to the land where I was born and find a wife for my son from among my relatives.' I asked my master: 'What if the young woman refuses to come with me?' He said to me: 'Jehovah, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with you to make your journey successful. You will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father's house. If my relatives do not give her to you, then you will be free from my oath.' I came to the spring today. I prayed to Jehovah: 'God of my master Abraham, if now you will make my journey successful, make it be that the maiden who comes out to draw, and to whom I say, Please let me drink a little water from your jar, And she will say to me, You drink, and I will draw for your camels also, let her be the woman whom Jehovah has appointed for my master's son.' Before I had finished speaking in my heart, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew, and I said to her, 'Please let me drink.' She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will water your camels also'; so I drank, and she watered the camels also. Then I asked her: 'Whose daughter are you?' She said: 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.
