54 And they did eate and drinke, both he and the men that were with hym, and taried all night: and when they rose vp in the mornyng, he said: let me depart vnto my maister. 55 Her brother and her mother aunswered: let the damsell abyde with vs, and it be but euen ten dayes, and then shall she go. 56 He sayde vnto them: hynder me not, beholde, the Lorde hath prospered my iourney, sende me away therefore, that I may go to my maister. 57 And they sayde: we wyll call the damsell, and enquire at her mouth. 58 And they called foorth Rebecca, and sayde vnto her: wylt thou go with this man? And she aunswered, I wyll go. 59 So they let Rebecca theyr sister go, and her nurse, & Abrahams seruaunt, and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebecca, and sayde vnto her: thou art our sister, growe into thousande thousandes, and thy seede possesse the gate of his enemies. 61 And Rebecca arose and her damselles, and gat them vp vpon the Camelles, and folowed the man: and the seruaunt toke Rebecca, and went his waye. 62 And Isahac was commyng from the waye of the well of the lyuyng and seeyng me: for he dwelt in the South countrey. 63 And Isahac was gone out to pray in the fielde at the euentide, and he lift vp his eyes, and saw the Camelles commyng. 64 And Rebecca lyft vp her eyes, & when she sawe Isahac, she lyghted of the Camell, 65 (For she said vnto the seruaunt: what man is this, that commeth walkyng against vs in the fielde? And the seruaunt sayd, it is my maister): therfore she toke her vayle and couered her. 66 And the seruaunt tolde Isahac all thinges that he had done. 67 And Isahac brought her into his mother Saraes tent, and toke Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loued her: and so Isahac receaued comfort after his mother.
