Genesis 24:55-67 ▼

55 and her brother says—her mother also, “Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterward she goes.”

56 And he says to them, “Do not delay me, seeing YHWH has prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord”;

57 and they say, “Let us call for the young person, and inquire of her mouth”;

58 and they call for Rebekah, and say to her, “Do you go with this man?” And she says, “I go.”

59 And they send away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men;

60 and they bless Rebekah, and say to her, “You [are] our sister; become thousands of myriads, and your seed possesses the gate of those hating it.”

61 And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant takes Rebekah and goes.

62 And Isaac has come in from the entrance of the Well of the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of the south,

63 and Isaac goes out to meditate in the field, at the turning of the evening, and he lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, camels are coming.

64 And Rebekah lifts up her eyes, and sees Isaac, and comes down off the camel;

65 and she says to the servant, “Who [is] this man who is walking in the field to meet us?” And the servant says, “It [is] my lord”; and she takes the veil, and covers herself.

66 And the servant recounts to Isaac all the things that he has done,

67 and Isaac brings her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he takes Rebekah, and she becomes his wife, and he loves her, and Isaac is comforted after [the death of] his mother.
