Genesis 24:49-67 ▼

49 Now if you will show kindness and truth to my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.|

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, |The matter comes from God. We can’t speak to you bad or good.

51 Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, as God has spoken.|

52 And it happened when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down to the ground.

53 Then the servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. And he also gave valuable gifts to her brother and to her mother.

54 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and spent the night. Then they got up in the morning, and he said, |Send me away to my master.|

55 But her brother and her mother said, |Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go.|

56 But he said to them, |Do not delay me, seeing that he has made my journey successful. Send me away that I may go to my master.|

57 Then they said, |We will call the young woman and ask her.|

58 So they called Rebekah, and said to her, |Will you go with this man?| And she replied, |I will go.|

59 So they sent away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.

60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, |Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them.|

61 And Rebekah and her female servants got ready, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.

62 Now Isaac had come from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the land of the Negev.

63 And Isaac went out in the field to think in the early evening. And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and look, he saw camels approaching.

64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.

65 And she asked the servant, |Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?| And the servant said, |It is my master.| Then she took her veil and covered herself.

66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.

67 Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
