Reumah

People · Updated 2026-05-07

Reumah appears once in scripture, in the postscript to the Aqedah narrative that lists Nahor's children, where she is named as Nahor's concubine and the mother of four sons.

Concubine of Nahor

After the Chronicler-style report of the eight sons Milcah bore to Nahor (Ge 22:20-23), the passage adds: "And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah" (Ge 22:24). She is named only here; her four sons round out the household of Abraham's brother.
