Abraham busca esposa para Isaac
24 Abraham era ya muy viejo, y el Señor lo había bendecido en todo. 2 Un día llamó al más viejo de sus siervos, el que estaba a cargo de todo lo suyo, y le dijo:
—Pon tu mano debajo de mi muslo, 3 y júrame por el Señor, el Dios del cielo y de la tierra, que no dejarás que mi hijo Isaac se case con una mujer de esta tierra de Canaán, donde yo vivo, 4 sino que irás a mi tierra y escogerás una esposa para él entre las mujeres de mi familia.
5 El siervo le contestó:
—Pero si la mujer no quiere venir conmigo, ¿qué hago? ¿Debo entonces llevar a su hijo a la tierra de donde usted salió?
6 Abraham le dijo:
—¡No, no lleves allá a mi hijo! 7 El Señor, el Dios del cielo, que me sacó de la casa de mi padre y de la tierra de mis parientes y me prometió dar esta tierra a mis descendientes, también enviará su ángel delante de ti para que traigas de allá una esposa para mi hijo. 8 Si la mujer no quiere venir contigo, quedarás libre de este compromiso, pero ¡de ninguna manera lleves allá a mi hijo!
9 Entonces el siervo puso la mano bajo el muslo de su amo Abraham, y le juró que haría lo que le había pedido. 10 Después escogió regalos entre lo mejor que su amo tenía, tomó diez de sus camellos y se fue a la ciudad de Nahor, en Mesopotamia. 11 Cuando el siervo llegó a las afueras de la ciudad, ya empezaba a oscurecer. A esa hora las mujeres van a sacar agua. El siervo hizo descansar a los camellos junto a un pozo de agua, 12 y comenzó a orar: «Señor y Dios de mi amo Abraham, haz que hoy me vaya bien, y muéstrate bondadoso con mi amo. 13 Voy a quedarme aquí, junto al pozo, mientras las muchachas de este lugar vienen a sacar agua. 14 Permite que la muchacha a la que yo le diga: “Por favor, baje usted su cántaro para que yo beba”, y que me conteste: “Beba usted, y también les daré agua a sus camellos”, que sea ella la que tú has escogido para tu siervo Isaac. Así podré estar seguro de que has sido bondadoso con mi amo.»
15 Todavía no había terminado de orar, cuando vio que una muchacha venía con su cántaro al hombro. Era Rebeca, la hija de Betuel. Betuel era hijo de Milcá y de Nahor, el hermano de Abraham. 16 Rebeca era muy hermosa, y además virgen; ningún hombre la había tocado. Bajó al pozo, llenó su cántaro, y ya regresaba 17 cuando el siervo corrió a alcanzarla y le dijo:
—Por favor, déjeme usted beber un poco de agua de su cántaro.
18 —Beba usted, señor —contestó ella.
Y en seguida bajó su cántaro, lo sostuvo entre las manos y le dio de beber. 19 Cuando el siervo terminó de beber, Rebeca le dijo:
—También voy a sacar agua para sus camellos, para que beban toda la que quieran.
20 Rápidamente vació su cántaro en el bebedero y corrió varias veces al pozo, hasta que sacó agua para todos los camellos. 21 Mientras tanto el siervo la miraba sin decir nada, pues quería estar seguro de que el Señor había hecho que le fuera bien en su viaje. 22 Cuando los camellos terminaron de beber, el hombre tomó un anillo de oro que pesaba como seis gramos, y se lo puso a ella en la nariz. También le dio dos brazaletes de oro que pesaban más de cien gramos, 23 y le dijo:
—Dígame por favor de quién es usted hija, y si hay lugar en la casa de su padre donde mis hombres y yo podamos pasar la noche.
24 Y ella contestó:
—Soy hija de Betuel, el hijo de Milcá y de Nahor. 25 En nuestra casa hay lugar para que usted pase la noche, y también suficiente paja y comida para los camellos.
26 Entonces el siervo se arrodilló y adoró al Señor, 27 diciendo: «¡Bendito sea el Señor, el Dios de mi amo Abraham, pues ha sido fiel y bondadoso con mi amo, y me ha dirigido en el camino a la casa de sus parientes!»
28 Rebeca fue corriendo a la casa de su madre, a contar todo lo que le había pasado. 29 Tenía ella un hermano llamado Labán, el cual corrió al pozo a buscar al hombre, 30 pues había visto el anillo y los brazaletes que su hermana llevaba en los brazos, y le había oído contar lo que el hombre le había dicho. Labán se acercó al siervo de Abraham, que todavía estaba con los camellos junto al pozo, 31 y le dijo:
—Venga usted, bendito del Señor. ¡Cómo va usted a quedarse aquí afuera, si ya he preparado la casa y un lugar para los camellos!
32 Entonces el siervo fue a la casa. Allí Labán descargó los camellos y les dio de comer, y luego trajo agua para que el siervo y sus compañeros se lavaran los pies.
33 Cuando le sirvieron de comer, el siervo de Abraham dijo:
—Yo no podría comer antes de haber dicho lo que tengo que decir.
—Hable usted —dijo Labán.
34 El siervo dijo:
—Yo soy siervo de Abraham. 35 El Señor ha bendecido mucho a mi amo y lo ha hecho rico: le ha dado ovejas, vacas, oro y plata, siervos, siervas, camellos y asnos. 36 Además, Sara, su esposa, le dio un hijo cuando ya era muy anciana, y mi amo le ha dejado a su hijo todo lo que tiene. 37 Mi amo me hizo jurar, y me dijo: “No dejes que mi hijo se case con una mujer de esta tierra de Canaán, donde yo vivo. 38 Antes bien, ve a la familia de mi padre, y busca entre las mujeres de mi clan una esposa para él.” 39 Y yo le dije: “Mi señor, ¿y si la mujer no quiere venir conmigo?” 40 Entonces él me contestó: “Yo he andado en el camino del Señor, y él enviará su ángel contigo, para que te vaya bien en tu viaje y tomes una esposa para mi hijo de entre las mujeres de mi familia, es decir, de la familia de mi padre. 41 Sólo en caso de que mis parientes no quieran darte la muchacha, quedarás libre del juramento que me has hecho.”
42 »Así fue como hoy llegué al pozo, y en oración le dije al Señor, el Dios de mi amo Abraham: “Si de veras vas a hacer que me vaya bien en este viaje, 43 te ruego que ahora que estoy junto al pozo, pase esto: que la muchacha que venga por agua y a la que yo le diga: Por favor, déjeme usted beber un poco de agua de su cántaro, 44 y que me conteste: Beba usted, y también sacaré agua para sus camellos, que sea ésta la mujer que tú, Señor, has escogido para el hijo de mi amo.” 45 Todavía no terminaba yo de hacer esta oración, cuando vi que Rebeca venía con su cántaro al hombro. Bajó al pozo a sacar agua, y le dije: “Deme usted agua, por favor.” 46 Ella bajó en seguida su cántaro, y me dijo: “Beba usted, y también les daré de beber a sus camellos.” Y ella me dio agua, y también a mis camellos. 47 Luego le pregunté: “¿De quién es usted hija?” y ella me contestó: “Soy hija de Betuel, el hijo de Nahor y de Milcá.” Entonces le puse un anillo en la nariz y dos brazaletes en los brazos, 48 y me arrodillé y adoré al Señor; alabé al Señor, el Dios de mi amo Abraham, por haberme traído por el camino correcto para tomar la hija del pariente de mi amo para su hijo. 49 Ahora pues, díganme si van a ser buenos y sinceros con mi amo, y si no, díganmelo también, para que yo sepa lo que debo hacer.»
50 Entonces Labán y Betuel le contestaron:
—Todo esto viene del Señor, y nosotros no podemos decirle a usted que sí o que no. 51 Mire usted, aquí está Rebeca; tómela y váyase. Que sea la esposa del hijo de su amo, tal como el Señor lo ha dispuesto.
52 Cuando el siervo de Abraham oyó esas palabras, se arrodilló delante del Señor hasta tocar el suelo con la frente. 53 Luego sacó varios objetos de oro y plata, y vestidos, y se los dio a Rebeca. También a su hermano y a su madre les hizo regalos. 54 Después él y sus compañeros comieron y bebieron, y pasaron allí la noche. Al día siguiente, cuando se levantaron, el siervo dijo:
—Déjenme regresar a la casa de mi amo.
55 Pero el hermano y la madre de Rebeca le dijeron:
—Que se quede la muchacha con nosotros todavía unos diez días, y después podrá irse con usted.
56 Pero el siervo les dijo:
—No me detengan más. Dios ha hecho que mi viaje haya salido bien, así que déjenme regresar a la casa de mi amo.
57 Entonces ellos contestaron:
—Vamos a llamar a la muchacha, a ver qué dice ella.
58 Llamaron a Rebeca y le preguntaron:
—¿Quieres irte con este hombre?
—Sí —contestó ella.
59 Entonces dejaron ir a Rebeca y a la mujer que la había cuidado siempre, y también al siervo de Abraham y a sus compañeros. 60 Y bendijeron a Rebeca de esta manera:
«Oh, hermana nuestra,
¡que seas madre de muchos millones!
¡Que tus descendientes
conquisten las ciudades de sus enemigos!»
61 Entonces Rebeca y sus siervas montaron en los camellos y siguieron al siervo de Abraham. Fue así como el siervo tomó a Rebeca y se fue de allí.
62 Isaac había vuelto del pozo llamado «El que vive y me ve», pues vivía en la región del Négueb. 63 Había salido a dar un paseo al anochecer. En esto vio que unos camellos se acercaban. 64 Por su parte, Rebeca también miró y, al ver a Isaac, se bajó del camello 65 y le preguntó al siervo:
—¿Quién es ese hombre que viene por el campo hacia nosotros?
—Es mi amo —contestó el siervo.
Entonces ella tomó su velo y se cubrió la cara.
66 El siervo le contó a Isaac todo lo que había hecho. 67 Luego Isaac llevó a Rebeca a la tienda de campaña de su madre Sara, y se casó con ella. Isaac amó mucho a Rebeca, y así se consoló de la muerte de su madre.
Genesis 24
New Living Translation
A Wife for Isaac
24 Abraham was now a very old man, and the Lord had blessed him in every way. 2 One day Abraham said to his oldest servant, the man in charge of his household, “Take an oath by putting your hand under my thigh. 3 Swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not allow my son to marry one of these local Canaanite women. 4 Go instead to my homeland, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.”
5 The servant asked, “But what if I can’t find a young woman who is willing to travel so far from home? Should I then take Isaac there to live among your relatives in the land you came from?”
6 “No!” Abraham responded. “Be careful never to take my son there. 7 For the Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and my native land, solemnly promised to give this land to my descendants.[a] He will send his angel ahead of you, and he will see to it that you find a wife there for my son. 8 If she is unwilling to come back with you, then you are free from this oath of mine. But under no circumstances are you to take my son there.”
9 So the servant took an oath by putting his hand under the thigh of his master, Abraham. He swore to follow Abraham’s instructions. 10 Then he loaded ten of Abraham’s camels with all kinds of expensive gifts from his master, and he traveled to distant Aram-naharaim. There he went to the town where Abraham’s brother Nahor had settled. 11 He made the camels kneel beside a well just outside the town. It was evening, and the women were coming out to draw water.
12 “O Lord, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed. “Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham. 13 See, I am standing here beside this spring, and the young women of the town are coming out to draw water. 14 This is my request. I will ask one of them, ‘Please give me a drink from your jug.’ If she says, ‘Yes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!’—let her be the one you have selected as Isaac’s wife. This is how I will know that you have shown unfailing love to my master.”
15 Before he had finished praying, he saw a young woman named Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Abraham’s brother Nahor and his wife, Milcah. 16 Rebekah was very beautiful and old enough to be married, but she was still a virgin. She went down to the spring, filled her jug, and came up again. 17 Running over to her, the servant said, “Please give me a little drink of water from your jug.”
18 “Yes, my lord,” she answered, “have a drink.” And she quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and gave him a drink. 19 When she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels, too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20 So she quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw water for all his camels.
21 The servant watched her in silence, wondering whether or not the Lord had given him success in his mission. 22 Then at last, when the camels had finished drinking, he took out a gold ring for her nose and two large gold bracelets[b] for her wrists.
23 “Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “And please tell me, would your father have any room to put us up for the night?”
24 “I am the daughter of Bethuel,” she replied. “My grandparents are Nahor and Milcah. 25 Yes, we have plenty of straw and feed for the camels, and we have room for guests.”
26 The man bowed low and worshiped the Lord. 27 “Praise the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham,” he said. “The Lord has shown unfailing love and faithfulness to my master, for he has led me straight to my master’s relatives.”
28 The young woman ran home to tell her family everything that had happened. 29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, who ran out to meet the man at the spring. 30 He had seen the nose-ring and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and had heard Rebekah tell what the man had said. So he rushed out to the spring, where the man was still standing beside his camels. 31 Laban said to him, “Come and stay with us, you who are blessed by the Lord! Why are you standing here outside the town when I have a room all ready for you and a place prepared for the camels?”
32 So the man went home with Laban, and Laban unloaded the camels, gave him straw for their bedding, fed them, and provided water for the man and the camel drivers to wash their feet. 33 Then food was served. But Abraham’s servant said, “I don’t want to eat until I have told you why I have come.”
“All right,” Laban said, “tell us.”
34 “I am Abraham’s servant,” he explained. 35 “And the Lord has greatly blessed my master; he has become a wealthy man. The Lord has given him flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, a fortune in silver and gold, and many male and female servants and camels and donkeys.
36 “When Sarah, my master’s wife, was very old, she gave birth to my master’s son, and my master has given him everything he owns. 37 And my master made me take an oath. He said, ‘Do not allow my son to marry one of these local Canaanite women. 38 Go instead to my father’s house, to my relatives, and find a wife there for my son.’
39 “But I said to my master, ‘What if I can’t find a young woman who is willing to go back with me?’ 40 He responded, ‘The Lord, in whose presence I have lived, will send his angel with you and will make your mission successful. Yes, you must find a wife for my son from among my relatives, from my father’s family. 41 Then you will have fulfilled your obligation. But if you go to my relatives and they refuse to let her go with you, you will be free from my oath.’
42 “So today when I came to the spring, I prayed this prayer: ‘O Lord, God of my master, Abraham, please give me success on this mission. 43 See, I am standing here beside this spring. This is my request. When a young woman comes to draw water, I will say to her, “Please give me a little drink of water from your jug.” 44 If she says, “Yes, have a drink, and I will draw water for your camels, too,” let her be the one you have selected to be the wife of my master’s son.’
45 “Before I had finished praying in my heart, I saw Rebekah coming out with her water jug on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’ 46 She quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder and said, ‘Yes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!’ So I drank, and then she watered the camels.
47 “Then I asked, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel, and my grandparents are Nahor and Milcah.’ So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.
48 “Then I bowed low and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham, because he had led me straight to my master’s niece to be his son’s wife. 49 So tell me—will you or won’t you show unfailing love and faithfulness to my master? Please tell me yes or no, and then I’ll know what to do next.”
50 Then Laban and Bethuel replied, “The Lord has obviously brought you here, so there is nothing we can say. 51 Here is Rebekah; take her and go. Yes, let her be the wife of your master’s son, as the Lord has directed.”
52 When Abraham’s servant heard their answer, he bowed down to the ground and worshiped the Lord. 53 Then he brought out silver and gold jewelry and clothing and presented them to Rebekah. He also gave expensive presents to her brother and mother. 54 Then they ate their meal, and the servant and the men with him stayed there overnight.
But early the next morning, Abraham’s servant said, “Send me back to my master.”
55 “But we want Rebekah to stay with us at least ten days,” her brother and mother said. “Then she can go.”
56 But he said, “Don’t delay me. The Lord has made my mission successful; now send me back so I can return to my master.”
57 “Well,” they said, “we’ll call Rebekah and ask her what she thinks.” 58 So they called Rebekah. “Are you willing to go with this man?” they asked her.
And she replied, “Yes, I will go.”
59 So they said good-bye to Rebekah and sent her away with Abraham’s servant and his men. The woman who had been Rebekah’s childhood nurse went along with her. 60 They gave her this blessing as she parted:
“Our sister, may you become
the mother of many millions!
May your descendants be strong
and conquer the cities of their enemies.”
61 Then Rebekah and her servant girls mounted the camels and followed the man. So Abraham’s servant took Rebekah and went on his way.
62 Meanwhile, Isaac, whose home was in the Negev, had returned from Beer-lahai-roi. 63 One evening as he was walking and meditating in the fields, he looked up and saw the camels coming. 64 When Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she quickly dismounted from her camel. 65 “Who is that man walking through the fields to meet us?” she asked the servant.
And he replied, “It is my master.” So Rebekah covered her face with her veil. 66 Then the servant told Isaac everything he had done.
67 And Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s tent, and she became his wife. He loved her deeply, and she was a special comfort to him after the death of his mother.

A Wife for Isaac
24 Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in everything he did. 2 He said to his oldest servant, who was in charge of all that he had, “Place your hand between my thighs[a] and make a vow. 3 I want you to make a vow in the name of the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not choose a wife for my son from the people here in Canaan. 4 You must go back to the country where I was born and get a wife for my son Isaac from among my relatives.”
5 But the servant asked, “What if the young woman will not leave home to come with me to this land? Shall I send your son back to the land you came from?”
6 Abraham answered, “Make sure that you don't send my son back there! 7 The Lord, the God of heaven, brought me from the home of my father and from the land of my relatives, and he solemnly promised me that he would give this land to my descendants. He will send his angel before you, so that you can get a wife there for my son. 8 If the young woman is not willing to come with you, you will be free from this promise. But you must not under any circumstances take my son back there.” 9 So the servant put his hand between the thighs of Abraham, his master, and made a vow to do what Abraham had asked.
10 The servant, who was in charge of Abraham's property, took ten of his master's camels and went to the city where Nahor had lived in northern Mesopotamia. 11 When he arrived, he made the camels kneel down at the well outside the city. It was late afternoon, the time when women came out to get water. 12 He prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham, give me success today and keep your promise to my master. 13 Here I am at the well where the young women of the city will be coming to get water. 14 I will say to one of them, ‘Please, lower your jar and let me have a drink.’ If she says, ‘Drink, and I will also bring water for your camels,’ may she be the one that you have chosen for your servant Isaac. If this happens, I will know that you have kept your promise to my master.”
15 Before he had finished praying, Rebecca arrived with a water jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Abraham's brother Nahor and his wife Milcah. 16 She was a very beautiful young woman and still a virgin. She went down to the well, filled her jar, and came back. 17 The servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a drink of water from your jar.”
18 She said, “Drink, sir,” and quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and held it while he drank. 19 When he had finished, she said, “I will also bring water for your camels and let them have all they want.” 20 She quickly emptied her jar into the animals' drinking trough and ran to the well to get more water, until she had watered all his camels. 21 The man kept watching her in silence, to see if the Lord had given him success.
22 When she had finished, the man took an expensive gold ring and put it in her nose and put two large gold bracelets on her arms. 23 He said, “Please tell me who your father is. Is there room in his house for my men and me to spend the night?”
24 “My father is Bethuel son of Nahor and Milcah,” she answered. 25 “There is plenty of straw and fodder at our house, and there is a place for you to stay.”
26 Then the man knelt down and worshiped the Lord. 27 He said, “Praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has faithfully kept his promise to my master. The Lord has led me straight to my master's relatives.”
28 The young woman ran to her mother's house and told the whole story. 29 Now Rebecca had a brother named Laban, and he ran outside to go to the well where Abraham's servant was. 30 Laban had seen the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's arms and had heard her say what the man had told her. He went to Abraham's servant, who was standing by his camels at the well, 31 and said, “Come home with me. You are a man whom the Lord has blessed. Why are you standing out here? I have a room ready for you in my house, and there is a place for your camels.”
32 So the man went into the house, and Laban unloaded the camels and gave them straw and fodder. Then he brought water for Abraham's servant and his men to wash their feet. 33 When food was brought, the man said, “I will not eat until I have said what I have to say.”
Laban said, “Go on and speak.”
34 “I am the servant of Abraham,” he began. 35 “The Lord has greatly blessed my master and made him a rich man. He has given him flocks of sheep and goats, cattle, silver, gold, male and female slaves, camels, and donkeys. 36 Sarah, my master's wife, bore him a son when she was old, and my master has given everything he owns to him. 37 My master made me promise with a vow to obey his command. He said, ‘Do not choose a wife for my son from the young women in the land of Canaan. 38 Instead, go to my father's people, to my relatives, and choose a wife for him.’ 39 And I asked my master, ‘What if she will not come with me?’ 40 He answered, ‘The Lord, whom I have always obeyed, will send his angel with you and give you success. You will get for my son a wife from my own people, from my father's family. 41 There is only one way for you to be free from your vow: if you go to my relatives and they refuse you, then you will be free.’
42 “When I came to the well today, I prayed, ‘Lord, God of my master Abraham, please give me success in what I am doing. 43 Here I am at the well. When a young woman comes out to get water, I will ask her to give me a drink of water from her jar. 44 If she agrees and also offers to bring water for my camels, may she be the one that you have chosen as the wife for my master's son.’ 45 Before I had finished my silent prayer, Rebecca came with a water jar on her shoulder and went down to the well to get water. I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’ 46 She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will also water your camels.’ So I drank, and she watered the camels. 47 I asked her, ‘Who is your father?’ And she answered, ‘My father is Bethuel son of Nahor and Milcah.’ Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms. 48 I knelt down and worshiped the Lord. I praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me straight to my master's relative, where I found his daughter for my master's son. 49 Now, if you intend to fulfill your responsibility toward my master and treat him fairly, please tell me; if not, say so, and I will decide what to do.”
50 Laban and Bethuel answered, “Since this matter comes from the Lord, it is not for us to make a decision. 51 Here is Rebecca; take her and go. Let her become the wife of your master's son, as the Lord himself has said.” 52 When the servant of Abraham heard this, he bowed down and worshiped the Lord. 53 Then he brought out clothing and silver and gold jewelry, and gave them to Rebecca. He also gave expensive gifts to her brother and to her mother.
54 Then Abraham's servant and the men with him ate and drank, and spent the night there. When they got up in the morning, he said, “Let me go back to my master.”
55 But Rebecca's brother and her mother said, “Let her stay with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.”
56 But he said, “Don't make us stay. The Lord has made my journey a success; let me go back to my master.”
57 They answered, “Let's call her and find out what she has to say.” 58 So they called Rebecca and asked, “Do you want to go with this man?”
“Yes,” she answered.
59 So they let Rebecca and her old family servant go with Abraham's servant and his men. 60 And they gave Rebecca their blessing in these words:
“May you, sister, become the mother of millions!
May your descendants conquer the cities of their enemies!”
61 Then Rebecca and her young women got ready and mounted the camels to go with Abraham's servant, and they all started out.
62 Isaac had come into the wilderness of[b] “The Well of the Living One Who Sees Me” and was staying in the southern part of Canaan. 63 He went out in the early evening to take a walk in the fields and saw camels coming. 64 When Rebecca saw Isaac, she got down from her camel 65 and asked Abraham's servant, “Who is that man walking toward us in the field?”
“He is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her scarf and covered her face.
66 The servant told Isaac everything he had done. 67 Then Isaac brought Rebecca into the tent that his mother Sarah had lived in, and she became his wife. Isaac loved Rebecca, and so he was comforted for the loss of his mother.
