“It was after these matters [devarim]” – after the words [devarim] that were being contemplated there. Who contemplated [these words]? Abraham contemplated and said: ‘Had he [Isaac] died on Mount Moriah, would he not have died childless? Now, what am I going to do?
I am going to marry him off to one of the daughters of Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre,5Abraham’s Canaanite allies (see Genesis 14:13, 14:24). who are righteous. What do I care about lineage?’ The Holy One blessed be He said to him: ‘You need not do that; Isaac’s spouse has already been born.’ “Behold, Milka, she too has borne” – “she,” “she too.”6It would have been sufficient to say “she has borne,” yet it says “she too has borne.”
“Too” implies that she is being compared to someone else. Just as with [the descendants of] this one [Sarah], there were eight children born to the main wives [of Jacob] and four children born to concubines; so, too, with that one [Milka], there were eight children born to the main wife, and four children born to the concubine.7As enumerated in the coming verses.
