Where was St Rebekah born?
Nothing is specifically stated in scripture, but it was believed to be around 1878 BCE when Abraham sent his house manager to find a suitable wife for his son Isaac , who was about 40 years old at the time. If Rebekah was the same age as Isaac, she'd probably have been born around 1918 BCE. She was, however, Abraham's grand niece, daughter of his grandson, Bethuel (Genesis 22:20-23) so was probably a bit younger, though still a 'young woman' (not a girl)(Genesis 24:57-58)
