Maachah

Meaning: pressed down; worn; fastened · Female · 1 cross reference

This Maachah entry refers to one of the children born to Nahor's concubine Reumah in Genesis 22:24, not to the women or rulers elsewhere with the same name. She belongs to Abraham's wider family network outside the covenant line itself. First appears in Gen 22:24.1

AI summary: This Maachah matters because her single cross reference helps map the broader household connections surrounding Abraham's family. The entry widens the reader's sense of the lines and peoples growing alongside the central covenant story. Taken together, the material presents this Maachah as an ancestral figure within Nahor's extended household.1
