Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
Greek
form of
Rebekah
(
Rom. 9:10
10
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (Romans 9:10)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Daughter
of
Bethuel
the
nephew
of
Abraham
, and wife of
Isaac
. Abraham’s
servant
conducted her to one, whom she had not before seen—to Isaac, who had in a
figure
been received back from the dead after having been offered to
God
on the
altar
: beautiful
type
of the saints who form the
bride
of Christ being led by
the
Holy
Spirit
on their journey to be the “wife” of the Risen One “whom having not seen they love,” and to whom they can now be companions in spirit, being of His “kindred,” whom He is not ashamed to own as
brethren
.
Rebekah, when among the
Philistines
, denied her true relationship with Isaac, and in like manner the professing
church
has been unfaithful to her
Lord
.
Twenty years after her
marriage
Rebecca became the
mother
of twin sons,
Esau
and
Jacob
. The latter whom God said should be the first, was her favorite
son
; but she lacked
faith
, and did not wait for the promised
blessing
to fall upon Jacob in God’s
time
, but sought it in her own cunning way. Her
death
is not recorded, but she was buried with her
husband
in the cave of
Machpelah
(
Gen. 22:23
23
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. (Genesis 22:23)

There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. (Genesis 49:31)

Rom. 9:10

And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (Romans 9:10)
).
