Ramban on Genesis 22:24/רמב"ן על בראשית כ״ב:כ״ד

אוּפִילַגְשׁוֹ וּשְׁמָהּ רְאוּמָה יְסַפֵּר הַכָּתוּב כָּל הַבְּשׂוֹרָה שֶׁבִּשְּׂרוּ אֶת אַבְרָהָם בִּבְנֵי אָחִיו. וְיִתָּכֵן שֶׁנִּכְתַּב זֶה לְהוֹדִיעַ כָּל יִחוּס נָחוֹר, כִּי כֻּלָּם רְאוּיִים לְהִדָּבֵק בְּזַרְעוֹ שֶׁל אַבְרָהָם, וְעַל כֻּלָּם אָמַר "אִם לֹא אֶל בֵּית אָבִי תֵּלֵךְ וְאֶל מִשְׁפַּחְתִּי" (בראשית כ"ד:ל"ח):
1AND HIS CONCUBINE, WHOSE NAME WAS REUMAH. Scripture tells the entire tiding which they related to Abraham concerning his brother’s children.It is possible that this was written in order to make known the entire genealogy of Nahor, to establish that all of them were worthy to marry the children of Abraham, and it was with reference to all of them that Abraham said to Eliezer: But thou shalt go unto my father’s house and to my family.399Chayei Sarah
