(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.
