Genesis 24:50–67

50 Laban and Bethuely answered, “This is from the Lord;z we can say nothing to you one way or the other.a 51 Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has directed.b”

52 When Abraham’s servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the Lord.c 53 Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothingd and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly giftse to her brother and to her mother. 54 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night there.

When they got up the next morning, he said, “Send me on my wayf to my master.”

55 But her brother and her mother replied, “Let the young woman remain with us ten days or so;g then youe may go.”

56 But he said to them, “Do not detain me, now that the Lord has granted successh to my journey. Send me on my wayi so I may go to my master.”

57 Then they said, “Let’s call the young woman and ask her about it.”j 58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?”

“I will go,”k she said.

59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way,l along with her nursem and Abraham’s servant and his men. 60 And they blessedn Rebekah and said to her,

“Our sister, may you increase

to thousands upon thousands;o

may your offspring possess

the cities of their enemies.”p

61 Then Rebekah and her attendantsq got ready and mounted the camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.

62 Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi,r for he was living in the Negev.s 63 He went out to the field one evening to meditate,f t and as he looked up,u he saw camels approaching. 64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camelv 65 and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?”

“He is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veilw and covered herself.

66 Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. 67 Isaac brought her into the tentx of his mother Sarah,y and he married Rebekah.z So she became his wife, and he loved her;a and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.b
