   Some have conjectured from this, that her father Bethuel was
   dead; and the person called Bethuel, (ver. 50,) was a younger
   brother.  This is possible; but as Dr. A. Clarke remarks, the
   mother's house might be mentioned were even the father alive;
   for in Asiatic countries, the women have apartments entirely
   separate from those of the men, in which their little children
   and grown-up daughters reside with them.  This was probably
   the case here; though, from the whole narrative, it is very
   probable that Bethuel was dead, as the whole business appears
   to be conducted by Rebekah's brothers.
