55 But Rebekah's brother and her mother replied, |Let the girl stay with us a few more days, perhaps ten. Then she can go.| 56 But he said to them, |Don't detain me--the LORD has granted me success on my journey. Let me leave now so I may return to my master.| 57 Then they said, |We'll call the girl and find out what she wants to do.| 58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, |Do you want to go with this man?| She replied, |I want to go.| 59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, accompanied by her female attendant, with Abraham's servant and his men. 60 They blessed Rebekah with these words: |Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands! May your descendants possess the strongholds of their enemies.| Genesis 24:55-60, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
