mil´ka (מלכּה, milkāh; Μελχά, Melchá):

(1) Daughter of Haran, wife of Nahor, and grandmother of Rebekah (Genesis 11:29; Genesis 22:20-23; Genesis 24:15, Genesis 24:24, Genesis 24:47).

(2) Daughter of Zelophehad (Numbers 26:33; Numbers 27:1; Numbers 36:11; Joshua 17:3). Many recent authorities are of opinion that Milcah is an abbreviation of Bethmilcah, and is a geographical rather than a personal name.
