Старший слуга Ибрахима находит жену для Исхака

24 Ибрахим был уже стар, в преклонных годах, и Вечный благословил его во всём. 2 Ибрахим сказал старшему[a] слуге в своём доме, который распоряжался всем, что у него было:

– Положи руку мне под бедро[b] 3 и поклянись мне Вечным, Богом неба и земли, что ты не возьмёшь моему сыну жены из дочерей хананеев, среди которых я живу, 4 но пойдёшь ко мне на родину, к моей родне, и там возьмёшь жену для моего сына Исхака.

5 Слуга спросил его:

– Что, если та женщина не захочет идти со мной сюда, в эту землю? Что мне тогда делать, возвратить твоего сына в ту страну, откуда ты пришёл?

6 Ибрахим ответил:

– Ни в коем случае не возвращай туда моего сына. 7 Вечный, Бог неба, Который вывел меня из дома отца и из моей родной земли, Который говорил со мной и поклялся мне, сказав: «Я отдам эту землю твоему потомству[c]», Он пошлёт Своего Ангела перед тобой, чтобы ты смог взять оттуда жену для моего сына. 8 Если женщина не захочет идти с тобой, то ты будешь свободен от этой клятвы. Но не возвращай туда моего сына.

9 Слуга положил руку под бедро своего господина Ибрахима и поклялся ему.

10 Потом слуга взял десять верблюдов своего господина и, нагрузив их лучшими подарками от него, отправился в путь. Он пошёл в Месопотамию[d], держа путь к городу, где жил Нахор. 11 Он опустил верблюдов на колени у источника за пределами города; это было под вечер, когда женщины приходят за водой.

12 Он сказал:

– О Вечный, Бог моего господина Ибрахима, дай мне сегодня успех и яви милость моему господину Ибрахиму. 13 Вот, я стою у источника, и дочери горожан идут за водой. 14 Пусть будет так. Если я скажу девушке: «Пожалуйста, опусти кувшин с плеча, чтобы мне напиться», а она ответит: «Пей, а я напою и твоих верблюдов», то её Ты и назначил для слуги Твоего Исхака. Так я узнаю, что Ты явил милость моему господину.

15 Ещё он не кончил молиться, как Рабига, дочь Бетуила, сына Милки и Нахора, брата Ибрахима, вышла к источнику с кувшином на плече. 16 Она была очень красивая и непорочная девушка. Она спустилась к источнику, наполнила кувшин и пошла обратно.

17 Слуга поспешил ей навстречу и сказал:

– Пожалуйста, дай мне немного воды из твоего кувшина.

18 – Пей, господин мой, – сказала она и, быстро опустив кувшин на руки, дала ему напиться.

19 Когда он напился вдоволь, она сказала:

– Я начерпаю воды и для твоих верблюдов, пока они не напьются.

20 Она быстро вылила воду из кувшина в поилку, побежала обратно к источнику зачерпнуть ещё воды и начерпала для всех его верблюдов.

21 Он молча наблюдал за ней, пытаясь понять, даровал ли Вечный успех его путешествию. 22 Когда верблюды напились, тот человек вынул золотую серьгу для носа, весом в шесть граммов[e], и два золотых браслета, весом в сто двадцать граммов[f], 23 и спросил:

– Скажи мне, чья ты дочь? Нет ли у твоего отца в доме комнаты, чтобы нам переночевать?

24 Она ответила ему:

– Я дочь Бетуила, сына Милки, которого она родила Нахору, – 25 и добавила: – У нас вдоволь и соломы, и корма, и есть комната для ночлега.

26 Тогда он склонился и восславил Вечного, 27 сказав:

– Хвала Вечному, Богу моего господина Ибрахима, Который не оставил без Своей милости и верности моего господина, потому что Вечный привёл меня прямо в дом к родне моего господина.

28 Девушка побежала и рассказала обо всём в доме матери.

29 У Рабиги был брат по имени Лаван, и он поспешил к тому человеку у источника. 30 Как только он увидел серьгу для носа и браслеты на руках у сестры и услышал рассказ Рабиги о том, что сказал ей тот человек, он пошёл к нему, а тот так и стоял с верблюдами у источника.

31 – Пойдём к нам, благословенный Вечным, – сказал Лаван. – Почему ты стоишь здесь снаружи? Я приготовил дом и место для верблюдов.

32 Тот человек вошёл в дом, и верблюды были рассёдланы. Верблюдам принесли соломы и корма, а для него и его людей принесли воды, чтобы вымыть ноги. 33 Перед ним поставили еду, но он сказал:

– Я не стану есть, пока не расскажу о моём поручении.

– Рассказывай, – ответил Лаван.

34 Он сказал:

– Я слуга Ибрахима. 35 Вечный щедро благословил моего господина, и он стал богат. Он дал ему мелкий и крупный скот, серебро и золото, слуг и служанок, верблюдов и ослов. 36 Жена моего господина Сарра родила ему сына в старости, и он завещал ему всё, что у него есть. 37 Мой господин велел мне поклясться и сказал: «Не бери жены для моего сына из дочерей хананеев, в чьей земле я живу, 38 но пойди к семье моего отца, к моей родне, и оттуда возьми жену для моего сына».

39 Я спросил моего господина: «А что, если та женщина не пойдёт со мной?»

40 Он ответил: «Вечный, перед лицом Которого я хожу, пошлёт с тобой Своего Ангела и дарует успех твоему путешествию, чтобы ты взял жену для моего сына из моей родни и из семьи моего отца. 41 Только тогда ты будешь свободен от этой клятвы, когда побываешь в доме моего отца, и если они откажут отдать её тебе, тогда ты будешь свободен от клятвы».

42 Когда я сегодня пришёл к источнику, я сказал: «О Вечный, Бог моего господина Ибрахима, если бы Ты только даровал успех поручению, с которым я послан! 43 Вот я стою у источника: если девушка выйдет начерпать воды, и я скажу ей: „Пожалуйста, дай мне попить воды из твоего кувшина“, 44 и если она скажет мне: „Пей, а я начерпаю воды и твоим верблюдам“, то значит, её-то Вечный и назначил для сына моего господина».

45 Ещё я не закончил молиться в сердце своём, когда вышла Рабига с кувшином на плече. Она спустилась к источнику и зачерпнула воды, и я сказал ей: «Пожалуйста, дай мне напиться».

46 Она быстро спустила кувшин с плеча и сказала: «Пей, а я напою и твоих верблюдов». И я напился воды, а она напоила верблюдов.

47 Я спросил её: «Чья ты дочь?»

Она сказала: «Дочь Бетуила, сына Нахора, которого родила ему Милка».

Тогда я дал ей серьгу для носа и браслеты на руки, 48 и склонился и восславил Вечного. Я восхвалил Вечного, Бога моего господина Ибрахима, Который верной дорогой привёл меня, чтобы взять внучку брата моего господина в жёны его сыну.

49 Итак, если вы окажете милость и верность моему господину, так и скажите мне, а если нет, тоже скажите мне, чтобы я знал, что мне делать.

50 Лаван и Бетуил ответили:

– Это дело от Вечного; не нам говорить тебе да или нет. 51 Вот Рабига перед тобой; забирай её и иди, и пусть она станет женой сына твоего господина, как определил Вечный.

52 Услышав эти слова, слуга Ибрахима склонился перед Вечным до земли. 53 Потом он вынул наряды, а также золотые и серебряные украшения и подарил их Рабиге; её брату и матери он также дал дорогие подарки. 54 И он, и люди, что были с ним, ели, пили и остались ночевать. Когда на другое утро они поднялись, он сказал:

– Отпустите меня, я хочу отправиться в путь к моему господину.

55 Но брат и мать Рабиги ответили:

– Пусть девушка останется с нами ещё хотя бы десять дней; потом она может[g] идти.

56 Но он сказал:

– Не задерживайте меня, раз Вечный даровал успех моему поручению. Отпустите меня в путь, чтобы мне вернуться к моему господину.

57 Они сказали:

– Позовём девушку и спросим её.

58 Они позвали Рабигу и спросили:

– Пойдёшь с этим человеком?

– Пойду, – ответила она.

59 И они отправили в путь свою сестру Рабигу вместе с её кормилицей, слугой Ибрахима и его людьми. 60 Они благословили Рабигу и сказали:

– Сестра наша, да будут потомки твои исчисляться тысячами тысяч, и да овладеют они городами своих врагов.

61 Рабига и её служанки собрались, сели на верблюдов и отправились за тем человеком. Так слуга взял Рабигу и отправился в путь. 62 Исхак вернулся из Беэр-Лахай-Рои – он жил в Негеве, – 63 и вот, вечером он вышел в поле, и поднял взгляд, и увидел, что идут верблюды. 64 Рабига тоже подняла взгляд и увидела Исхака; она спустилась с верблюда 65 и спросила слугу:

– Кто этот человек в поле, что идёт нам навстречу?

– Это мой господин, – ответил слуга.

Тогда она взяла покрывало и набросила на себя. 66 Слуга рассказал Исхаку обо всём, что он сделал. 67 Исхак ввёл Рабигу в шатёр своей матери Сарры и взял её в жёны. Она стала его женой, и он полюбил её; и Исхак утешился после смерти матери.

Isaac and Rebekah

24 Abraham was now very old,(A) and the Lord had blessed(B) him in every way.(C) 2 He said to the senior servant(D) in his household, the one in charge of all that he had,(E) “Put your hand under my thigh.(F) 3 I want you to swear(G) by the Lord, the God of heaven(H) and the God of earth,(I) that you will not get a wife for my son(J) from the daughters of the Canaanites,(K) among whom I am living,(L) 4 but will go to my country and my own relatives(M) and get a wife for my son Isaac.(N)”

5 The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land?(O) Shall I then take your son back to the country you came from?(P)”

6 “Make sure that you do not take my son back there,”(Q) Abraham said. 7 “The Lord, the God of heaven,(R) who brought me out of my father’s household and my native land(S) and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring[a](T) I will give this land’(U)—he will send his angel before you(V) so that you can get a wife for my son from there. 8 If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath(W) of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”(X) 9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh(Y) of his master(Z) Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.

10 Then the servant left, taking with him ten of his master’s camels(AA) loaded with all kinds of good things(AB) from his master. He set out for Aram Naharaim[b](AC) and made his way to the town of Nahor.(AD) 11 He had the camels kneel down near the well(AE) outside the town; it was toward evening, the time the women go out to draw water.(AF)

12 Then he prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham,(AG) make me successful(AH) today, and show kindness(AI) to my master Abraham. 13 See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.(AJ) 14 May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink,(AK) and I’ll water your camels too’(AL)—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac.(AM) By this I will know(AN) that you have shown kindness to my master.”

15 Before he had finished praying,(AO) Rebekah(AP) came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel(AQ) son of Milkah,(AR) who was the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.(AS) 16 The woman was very beautiful,(AT) a virgin;(AU) no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.

17 The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”(AV)

18 “Drink,(AW) my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink.

19 After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels(AX) too,(AY) until they have had enough to drink.” 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels.(AZ) 21 Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful.(BA)

22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring(BB) weighing a beka[c] and two gold bracelets(BC) weighing ten shekels.[d] 23 Then he asked, “Whose daughter are you?(BD) Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?(BE)”

24 She answered him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milkah bore to Nahor.(BF)” 25 And she added, “We have plenty of straw and fodder,(BG) as well as room for you to spend the night.”

26 Then the man bowed down and worshiped the Lord,(BH) 27 saying, “Praise be to the Lord,(BI) the God of my master Abraham,(BJ) who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness(BK) to my master. As for me, the Lord has led me on the journey(BL) to the house of my master’s relatives.”(BM)

28 The young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things.(BN) 29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban,(BO) and he hurried out to the man at the spring. 30 As soon as he had seen the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s arms,(BP) and had heard Rebekah tell what the man said to her, he went out to the man and found him standing by the camels near the spring. 31 “Come, you who are blessed by the Lord,”(BQ) he said. “Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”

32 So the man went to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and fodder(BR) were brought for the camels, and water for him and his men to wash their feet.(BS) 33 Then food was set before him, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told you what I have to say.”

“Then tell us,” Laban said.

34 So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant.(BT) 35 The Lord has blessed(BU) my master abundantly,(BV) and he has become wealthy.(BW) He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.(BX) 36 My master’s wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age,(BY) and he has given him everything he owns.(BZ) 37 And my master made me swear an oath,(CA) and said, ‘You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,(CB) 38 but go to my father’s family and to my own clan, and get a wife for my son.’(CC)

39 “Then I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not come back with me?’(CD)

40 “He replied, ‘The Lord, before whom I have walked faithfully,(CE) will send his angel with you(CF) and make your journey a success,(CG) so that you can get a wife for my son from my own clan and from my father’s family.(CH) 41 You will be released from my oath if, when you go to my clan, they refuse to give her to you—then you will be released from my oath.’(CI)

42 “When I came to the spring today, I said, ‘Lord, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success(CJ) to the journey on which I have come. 43 See, I am standing beside this spring.(CK) If a young woman(CL) comes out to draw water and I say to her, “Please let me drink a little water from your jar,”(CM) 44 and if she says to me, “Drink, and I’ll draw water for your camels too,” let her be the one the Lord has chosen for my master’s son.’(CN)

45 “Before I finished praying in my heart,(CO) Rebekah came out, with her jar on her shoulder.(CP) She went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’(CQ)

46 “She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too.’(CR) So I drank, and she watered the camels also.(CS)

47 “I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’(CT)

“She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel(CU) son of Nahor, whom Milkah bore to him.’(CV)

“Then I put the ring in her nose(CW) and the bracelets on her arms,(CX) 48 and I bowed down and worshiped the Lord.(CY) I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham,(CZ) who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.(DA) 49 Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness(DB) to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, so I may know which way to turn.”

50 Laban and Bethuel(DC) answered, “This is from the Lord;(DD) we can say nothing to you one way or the other.(DE) 51 Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has directed.(DF)”

52 When Abraham’s servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the Lord.(DG) 53 Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing(DH) and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly gifts(DI) to her brother and to her mother. 54 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night there.

When they got up the next morning, he said, “Send me on my way(DJ) to my master.”

55 But her brother and her mother replied, “Let the young woman remain with us ten days or so;(DK) then you[e] may go.”

56 But he said to them, “Do not detain me, now that the Lord has granted success(DL) to my journey. Send me on my way(DM) so I may go to my master.”

57 Then they said, “Let’s call the young woman and ask her about it.”(DN) 58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?”

“I will go,”(DO) she said.

59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way,(DP) along with her nurse(DQ) and Abraham’s servant and his men. 60 And they blessed(DR) Rebekah and said to her,

“Our sister, may you increase
    to thousands upon thousands;(DS)
may your offspring possess
    the cities of their enemies.”(DT)

61 Then Rebekah and her attendants(DU) got ready and mounted the camels and went back with the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.

62 Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi,(DV) for he was living in the Negev.(DW) 63 He went out to the field one evening to meditate,[f](DX) and as he looked up,(DY) he saw camels approaching. 64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel(DZ) 65 and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?”

“He is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil(EA) and covered herself.

66 Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. 67 Isaac brought her into the tent(EB) of his mother Sarah,(EC) and he married Rebekah.(ED) So she became his wife, and he loved her;(EE) and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.(EF)

A Bride for Isaac

24 Now Abraham (A)was old, well advanced in age; and the Lord (B)had blessed Abraham in all things. 2 So Abraham said (C)to the oldest servant of his house, who (D)ruled over all that he had, “Please, (E)put your hand under my thigh, 3 and I will make you (F)swear[a] by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that (G)you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; 4 (H)but you shall go (I)to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

5 And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?”

6 But Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there. 7 The Lord God of heaven, who (J)took me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, (K)‘To your [b]descendants I give this land,’ (L)He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. 8 And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then (M)you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there.” 9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, (N)for all his master’s goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to (O)the city of Nahor. 11 And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time (P)when women go out to draw water. 12 Then he (Q)said, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please (R)give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13 Behold, here (S)I stand by the well of water, and (T)the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. 14 Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And (U)by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

15 And it happened, (V)before he had finished speaking, that behold, (W)Rebekah,[c] who was born to Bethuel, son of (X)Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. 16 Now the young woman (Y)was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up. 17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”

18 (Z)So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink. 19 And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.” 20 Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. 21 And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether (AA)the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.

22 So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden (AB)nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold, 23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father’s house for us [d]to lodge?”

24 So she said to him, (AC)“I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.” 25 Moreover she said to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge.”

26 Then the man (AD)bowed down his head and worshiped the Lord. 27 And he said, (AE)“Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken (AF)His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the Lord (AG)led me to the house of my master’s brethren.” 28 So the young woman ran and told her mother’s household these things.

29 Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was (AH)Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well. 30 So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, “Thus the man spoke to me,” that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well. 31 And he said, “Come in, (AI)O blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.”

32 Then the man came to the house. And he unloaded the camels, and (AJ)provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to (AK)wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. 33 Food was set before him to eat, but he said, (AL)“I will not eat until I have told about my errand.”

And he said, “Speak on.”

34 So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant. 35 The Lord (AM)has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. 36 And Sarah my master’s wife (AN)bore a son to my master when she was old; and (AO)to him he has given all that he has. 37 Now my master (AP)made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell; 38 (AQ)but you shall go to my father’s house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.’ 39 (AR)And I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’ 40 (AS)But he said to me, ‘The Lord, (AT)before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and [e]prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s house. 41 (AU)You will be clear from this oath when you arrive among my family; for if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’

42 “And this day I came to the well and said, (AV)‘O Lord God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go, 43 (AW)behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,” 44 and she says to me, “Drink, and I will draw for your camels also,”—let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.’

45 (AX)“But before I had finished (AY)speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’ 46 And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.’ So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also. 47 Then I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists. 48 (AZ)And I bowed my head and worshiped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to (BA)take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son. 49 Now if you will (BB)deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.”

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, (BC)“The thing comes from the Lord; we cannot (BD)speak to you either bad or good. 51 (BE)Here is Rebekah before you; take her and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the Lord has spoken.”

52 And it came to pass, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that (BF)he worshiped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth. 53 Then the servant brought out (BG)jewelry of silver, jewelry of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave (BH)precious things to her brother and to her mother.

54 And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and stayed all night. Then they arose in the morning, and he said, (BI)“Send me away to my master.”

55 But her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at least ten; after that she may go.”

56 And he said to them, “Do not [f]hinder me, since the Lord has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master.”

57 So they said, “We will call the young woman and ask her personally.” 58 Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?”

And she said, “I will go.”

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

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

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

62 Now Isaac came from the way of (BM)Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South. 63 And Isaac went out (BN)to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming. 64 Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac (BO)she dismounted from her camel; 65 for 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.

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