1. Seder Olam Rabbah (Chapter 1 & 2) – Rabbinic ChronologyThis ancient Jewish chronological work calculates that:
Sarah dies at 127
Isaac is 37 at Sarah’s death
Rebekah was born at the same time Sarah died
මෙය පැහැදිලි කරන්න
Isaac marries Rebekah at age 40
Therefore this timeline implies Rebekah = 3 years old at marriage.But this is based on rabbinic interpretation, not the Bible text.

2. Rashi’s Commentary on Genesis 25:20Medieval Jewish commentator Rashi uses Seder Olam Rabbah’s math and writes:
Isaac was 40 at marriage
Rebekah was 3 years old at that time
This is the MOST famous source of the “3-year-old Rebekah” claim.
