The mention of a concubine reflects the cultural practices of the time, where concubinage was a socially accepted way to produce offspring. Reumah's inclusion highlights the importance of lineage and family connections in biblical narratives. Concubines, while not wives, held a recognized status and their children were often considered part of the family lineage.<p><b>bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.</b><br>The names of Reumah's children are significant as they contribute to the broader genealogical record in Genesis.

This passage underscores the theme of God's promise to multiply Abraham's descendants, as Nahor's family also grows, setting the stage for future interactions between their descendants.
