Isaac and Rebekah
Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.

“Make sure that you do not take my son back there,” Abraham said.

Then he prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.”
