Genesis 24:54-25:10

New International Version

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^(A) to my master.”

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

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

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

“I will go,”^(F) she said.

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

⁶¹ Then Rebekah and her attendants^(L) 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,^(M) for he was living in the Negev.^{(N) 63} He went out to the field one evening to meditate,^[b](O) and as he looked up,^(P) he saw camels approaching. ⁶⁴ Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel^{(Q) 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^(R) and covered herself.

⁶⁶ Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. ⁶⁷ Isaac brought her into the tent^(S) of his mother Sarah,^(T) and he married Rebekah.^(U) So she became his wife, and he loved her;^(V) and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.^(W)

The Death of Abraham^(X)

25 Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah. ² She bore him Zimran,^(Y) Jokshan, Medan, Midian,^(Z) Ishbak and Shuah.^{(AA) 3} Jokshan was the father of Sheba^(AB) and Dedan;^(AC) the descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites. ⁴ The sons of Midian were Ephah,^(AD) Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.

⁵ Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.^{(AE) 6} But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines^(AF) and sent them away from his son Isaac^(AG) to the land of the east.^(AH)

⁷ Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years.^{(AI) 8} Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age,^(AJ) an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.^{(AK) 9} His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him^(AL) in the cave of Machpelah^(AM) near Mamre,^(AN) in the field of Ephron^(AO) son of Zohar the Hittite,^{(AP) 10} the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites.^[c](AQ) There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.
