Regular viewers of my channel are more than prepared to evaluate the typical methods of rabbinic "interpretation" that we see referenced in this video. For other examples of later rabbinic embellishments being read into the text, see https://youtu.be/4LLhIJlZ5hE and https://youtu.be/nG6CiAVa32k. Unfortunately, it also has to be said that the book of "Jasher" which mentions Rebekah's age is NOT the same one the Bible mentions (i.e. Joshua 10:13). That book is lost. Several, much later "Jasher's" have appeared. There is much confusion about this fact on the internet.
