Overview
Tebah was born to Nahor and his concubine Reumah, making him a nephew of Abraham. Though mentioned only once in Scripture, his inclusion in the genealogical record demonstrates God's attention to detail in documenting the descendants of Abraham's family line. The genealogy of Nahor's descendants serves to establish the broader family context of Abraham's covenant lineage.
Key Scriptures
"And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and fathered Terah" (Genesis 11:24, ESV). "And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah" (Genesis 22:24, ESV).
Application
Tebah's mention reminds us that God preserves the records of all families and knows the names of those whose lives intersect with His redemptive plan, encouraging us to see significance in how we're connected to God's unfolding story of salvation.
