Sforno on Genesis 22:23/ספורנו על בראשית כ״ב:כ״ג
אוּבְתוּאֵל יָלַד אֶת רִבְקָה. וְהִגִּיד הַמַּגִּיד שֶׁבְּתוּאֵל, שֶׁהָיָה מִבְּנֵי הַגְּבִירָה, יָלַד אֶת רִבְקָה, וְהָיְתָה הַבְּשׂוֹרָה שֶׁיִּמְצָא בְּבֵית אָבִיו אִשָּׁה לִבְנוֹ וְלֹא יִצְטָרֵךְ לִדְבֹּק בְּכַנְעַן.
1ובתואל ילד את רבקה, the person relating all this to Avraham added that Betuel, a son of Nachor’s proper wife, sired Rivkah. The meaning of the message was that there had been born in his own family a girl who would be a suitable wife for Avraham’s son so that he would not have to look for such a wife among the Canaanites surrounding him.
