(Heb. Milkah', מַלְכָּה , advice; Sept. Μελχά ), the name of two women.

1. The daughter of Haran, and sister of Lot and Iscah (or Sarah); she married Nahor (Genesis 11:29), by whom she had eight sons (Genesis 19:20; Genesis 19:23), one of whom was Bethuel, the father of Rebekah (Genesis 24:15; Genesis 24:24; Genesis 24:47). She was thus Abraham's sister-in-law, and the grandmother of Isaac's wife. B.C. cir. 2047.

2. The fourth named of the five daughters of Zelophehad, of the tribe of Manasseh (Numbers 26:33), who became heiresses for the want of brothers (Numbers 27:1), and, having married members of the same tribe (Numbers 36:11), were assigned portions in Gilead (Joshua 17:3). B.C. 1619-1612.
