54 He and the men with him ate and drank, and then they spent the night. When they got up the next morning, the servant requested, |Send me off to my master.|

55 But her brother and mother said, |Let the young lady stay with us a few days—at least ten—and after that she may go.|

56 |Please don't delay me,| the servant answered them. |The LORD has made my journey successful. Send me off so I can return to my master.|

57 But they said, |We'll call the young lady and see what she has to say about this.|

58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, |Do you want to go with this man?| |I will go,| she replied.

59 So they sent off their sister Rebekah, along with her personal assistant, Abraham's servant, and his men.

60 As they were leaving, they all blessed Rebekah by saying, |Our sister, may you become the mother of tens of millions! May your descendants take over the city gates of those who hate them.|

61 Then Rebekah and her young servant women got up, mounted their camels, and followed Abraham's servant, who took Rebekah and went on his way.
