Genesis 24:59-67

New King James Version

⁵⁹So they sent away Rebekah their sister ^(A)and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men. ⁶⁰And they blessed Rebekah and said to her:

“Our sister, may you become
^(B)The mother of thousands of ten thousands;
^(C)And may your descendants possess
The gates of those who hate them.”

⁶¹Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.

⁶²Now Isaac came from the way of ^(D)Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South. ⁶³And Isaac went out ^(E)to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming. ⁶⁴Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac ^(F)she dismounted from her camel; ⁶⁵for she had said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?”

The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took a veil and covered herself.

⁶⁶And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. ⁶⁷Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he ^(G)took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac ^(H)was comforted after his mother’s death.
