Rebekah was related to Abraham. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milkah, who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor (Gen 24:15).

In seeking a wife for his son, Abraham did not want a Canaannite but wanted someone from his country and his relatives (Gen 24 v 3 to 4).

But is a Canaannite-non Canaanite the same distinction as Jew-Gentile?

Isn't a Jew a descendant of Abraham with Abraham being the first Jew? Isn't Abraham the first Jew because of his faith in God and the circumcision thereafter rather than his ethnicity? Abraham was called out of his family by God.
