     * her mother's.
       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.
